Answer:

theyre used to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors.

Answer:

The coating acts as an insulator to cover the metal conducting part of the wire. Without this insulator, the wire could come in contact with other conductors and lead to an unintentional electric current through those other conductors.

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.540 m/s in 27.0 ms. The total mass of the train is 610
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The value  is  P  =3.294 \  W

Explanation:

From the question we are that

     The velocity  v  =  0.540  \  m/s

      The  time taken is  t =  27.0 ms  = 27.0 *10^{-3} \ s

     The  total mass of the train is  m  =  610 \ g  =  0.610 \ kg

Generally the average power delivered is mathematically represented as

     P  =\frac{KE }{t}    

     P  =\frac{  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v^2 }{t}    

=>  P  =\frac{  \frac{1}{2}  *  0.610   *   0.540 ^2 }{ 27.0 *10^{-3}}    

=>  P  =3.294 \  W

FIGURE 1 shows part of a mass spectrometer. The whole arrangement is in a vacuum. Negative ions of mass 2.84 x 10-20 kg and char
yuradex [85]

Yes, the ions can exit slit P without being deflected, if the electric field strength is 170.6 N/C

Explanation:

When the ions are inside the container, they are subjected to two forces, with directions opposite to each other:

  • The force due to the electric field, whose magnitude is F_E=qE, where q is the charge of the ion and E is the strength of the electric field
  • The force due to the magnetic field, whose magnitude is F_B=qvB, where v is the speed of the ions and B is the strength of the magnetic field

The ions will move straight and undeflected if the two forces are equal and opposite. By using Fleming Left Hand rule, we notice that the magnetic force on the (negative) ions point upward: this means that the electric field must be also upward (so that the electric force on the ions is downward). Then, the two forces are balanced if

F_E = F_B

which translates into

qE=qvB\\\rightarrow v = \frac{E}{B}

Therefore, if the speed of the ions is equal to this ratio, the ions will go undeflected.

We can even calculate the value of E at which this occurs. In fact, we know that the ions are earlier accelerated by a potential difference V=-3000 V, so we have that their kinetic energy is given by the change in electric potential energy:

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

q=-2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C\\m=2.84\cdot 10^{-20}kg

Solving for v, the speed,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-2.0\cdot 10^{-19})(-3000)}{2.84\cdot 10^{-20}}}=205.6 m/s

And since the magnetic field strength is

B = 0.83 T

The strength of the electric field must be

E=vB=(205.6 m/s)(0.83 T)=170.6 N/C
