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.

1 hp is equal to? What is the answer​
rewona [7]
The electrical equivalent of one horsepower is 746 watts in the International System of Units (SI), and the heat equivalent is 2,545 BTU (British Thermal Units) per hour. Another unit of power is the metric horsepower, which equals 4,500 kilogram-metres per minute (32,549 foot-pounds per minute), or 0.9863 horsepower.

A wave has a wavelength of 7 mm and a frequency of 19 hertz. What is its speed?
ASHA 777 [7]

Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

Speed = (19 per second) x (7 mm)

Speed = (19 x 7) (per second · mm)

<em>Speed = 133 mm/sec</em>

or you might want to write  <em>Speed = 0.133 m/s</em> .

The breaking car had 10,000 J of kinetic energy before breaking after breaking it had 2000 J of kinetic energy. How much thermal
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

8000J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car lost during breaking are converted to thermal energy and are gained by the brakes.

Kinetic energy loss by car = thermal energy gained by brakes.

∆K.E = ∆T.E ....1

The Kinetic energy loss by car can be expressed as;

∆K.E = K.E1 - K.E2

Initial K.E = K.E1 = 10000J

Final K.E = K.E2 = 2000J

∆K.E= 10000J - 2000J = 8000J

From equation 1,

∆K.E = ∆T.E

∆T.E = 8,000J

thermal energy gain by brakes = 8,000J

A bomb of mass 4 kg, initially at rest, explodes breaking into two fragments of 1 kg and 3 kg. Which one of the following statem
Kazeer [188]

Answer: The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.

Explanation:Here for the bomb, its chemical energy gets converted into the mechanical energy.

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the two bodies will have equal momentum and to satisfy this condition the lighter mass will have the higher velocity.

∵ momentum, p = mass × velocity

∴The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.
