Explanation:
The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as
where is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V
is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m
is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?
is the magnetic field = 0.120 T
substituting, we have
2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x
2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x
= 2.88/1.44 = <em>2 m/s</em>
Explanation:
In the given situation two forces are working. These are:
1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE
2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg
Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy
Hence,
It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.
v =
= 592999 m/s
Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
