Transmission Lines and Health. Currents in dc transmission lines can be 100 A or higher. Some people are concerned that the elec

tromagnetic fields from such lines near their homes could pose health dangers. For a line that has current 170 A and a height of 8.0 m above the ground, what magnetic field does the line produce at ground level? Express your answer in teslas and as a percentage of the earth’s magnetic field, which is 0.50 G. Is this value cause for worry?

Calculate the magnetic field strength at the ground. Treat the transmission line as infinitely long. The magnetic field strength is then given by:

B = μ₀I/(2πr)

B = magnetic field strength, μ₀ = magnetic constant, I = current, r = distance from line

Given values:

μ₀ = 4π×10⁻⁷H/m, I = 170A, r = 8.0m

Plug in and solve for B:

B = 4π×10⁻⁷(170)/(2π(8.0))

B = 4.25×10⁻⁶T

The earth's magnetic field strength is 0.50G or 5.0×10⁻⁵T. Calculate the ratio of the line's magnetic field strength to earth's magnetic field strength:

4.25×10⁻⁶/(5.0×10⁻⁵)

= 0.085

= 8.5%

The transmission line's magnetic field strength is 8.5% of that of earth's natural magnetic field. This is no cause for worry.

A<br> B <br> C <br> D<br><br> Plz help me.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The correct option is;

{}               Man doing most work   {}    Box gaining the most energy

D   {}                 Y                                          Q

Explanation:

The given parameters of the question are;

The distance the box P is pushed by the Man X = 0

The force the Man X applies to the box P = x N

The distance the box Q is lifted by the Man Y = h > 0 meters

The minimum force the Man Y applies to the box Q = W, the weight of the box

Work done = Force × Distance

Energy gained = Potential energy + Kinetic Energy = (Mass × Gravity × Height = Weight × Height  = W × h) + 1/2 × Mass × Velocity²

The final velocity of either box = 0 m/s (The boxes are at rest on the ground or the shelf)

Therefore, Kinetic energy = 0 J

The work done by Man X = 0 × x = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W × 0 = 0 J

The work done by Man Y = W × h = W·h J

The energy gained by the box P = W × h = W·h J

We have, the work done by the man Y = W·h J is more than the work done by the man X = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W·h J is more than the energy gained by the box Q = 0 J

Therefore, the correct option is D, Man doing the most work is Y, box gaining the most energy is Q.

When did ernest rutherford make his discovery
oee [108]

Answer:

1911

Explanation:

"In 1911, he was the first to discover that atoms have a small charged nucleus surrounded by largely empty space, and are circled by tiny electrons, which became known as the Rutherford model (or planetary model) of the atom."

Which property of light remains unchanged when it enters a different medium?
RideAnS [48]
B. Frequency remains unchanged because the energy in a photon is E=hf. So if the frequency changes so does the energy and that doesn't happen to EM waves entering a medium by the conservation of energy
