svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current

= μ₀I / 2r

I is current , r is radius of the wire , μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷

= 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 15 / (2 x 3.5 x 10⁻²)

= 26.9 x 10⁻⁵ T

2 )

Negative z direction .

The direction of magnetic field due to a circular coil having current is known  

with the help of screw rule or right hand thumb rule.

3 )

If we decrease the radius the magnetic field will:__increase _____.

A. Increase.

Magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current

B = μ₀I / 2 r

Here r is radius of the coil . If radius decreases magnetic field increases.

So magnetic field will increase.

Why does a compass give unreliable readings when used near electrical appliances
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the compass uses a magnetic field, if anything else magnetic is near it, the compass will start acting up. Making it unreliable so keep magnets away!

Why is there no drag in space?????? Help me please!!! Thanks!!!
astraxan [27]
It is beacuse of fluid If there is no fluid, there is no drag. Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid. If this statement is correct then how can there be drag in space if there is no air?

f the magnitude of the acceleration of a propeller blade's tip exceeds a certain value amaxamax, the blade tip will fracture. If
Luden [163]

Answer:

The angular velocity is   w= \sqrt[4]{\frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}  - \alpha ^2}      

Explanation:

Generally the acceleration experienced by the propeller blade's is broken down into

          The Radial acceleration which is mathematically represented as

                              a_r = \frac{v^2}{r}  = w^2r

And the Tangential  acceleration which is mathematically represented as

                                a_r = \alpha r

  The net acceleration is evaluated as

                      a = \sqrt{a_r^2 + a_t^2}

       

Now since angular speed varies directly with angular acceleration so when acceleration is maximum the angular velocity is maximum also and this point if the propeller blade's tip exceeds it the blade would fracture

                 

So at maximum angular acceleration we a have

             a_{max} = \sqrt{a_r^2 + a_t^2}

                     a_{max}^2 = a_r^2 + a_t^2

                    a_{max}^2 = (w^2r)^2 + (\alpha r)^2

                 a_{max}^2 =  r^2 w^4 + r^2 \alpha ^2

                  a_{max}^2 = r^2 (w^4 + \alpha^2 )

                w^4 +\alpha ^2 = \frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}

                         w^4 = \frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}  - \alpha ^2

                         w= \sqrt[4]{\frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}  - \alpha ^2}

Earlier we discussed the concept of isostasy, where lower density rocks rise higher than higher density rocks. How is the variat
Elena L [17]

The variation of water depth at spreading centers (ridges) controlled by isostasy  as convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

<h3>What is convective heat transfer?</h3>

When heat transfer takes place between the two fluids in direct or indirect contact.

The lithosphere cools when it moves away from the ridge axis by sea floor spreading. The cooler rocks have low density, so the sea floor gets deeper as the lithosphere gets more dense.

Thus, the convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.
