A flat surface is in a uniform magnetic field. Given only the area of the surface and the magnetic flux through the surface, it
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Given the area A of a flat surface and the magnetic flux through the surface \Phi it is possible to calculate the magnitude \frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos \theta.

Explanation:

The magnetic flux gives an idea of how many magnetic field lines are passing through a surface. The SI unit of the magnetic flux \Phi is the weber (Wb), of the magnetic field B is the tesla (T) and of the area A is (m^{2}). So 1 Wb=1 T.m².

For a flat surface S of area A in a uniform magnetic field B, with \theta being the angle between the vector normal to the surface S and the direction of the magnetic field B, we define the magnetic flux through the surface as:

                                                     \Phi=B\ A\ cos\theta

We are told the values of \Phi and B, then we can calculate the magnitude

                                                      \frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos\theta

What type of wave passes through the spring in the frog toy? Why?
Setler [38]
Is the Frog Toy a piece of literature? If so, the type of wave is the "Wave of Life." Spring brings new life and a new start from the harsh winter.

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A} , where:

l is the length

m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}

A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8}   \ m^2

Using this Area, we find the diameter of the wire:

D = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}

D = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-8} }{\pi}}

D = 0.00011 \ m = 1.1 \times 10^ {-4} = 0.11 \ mm

To find the length, we multiply the two equations stated initially:

mR = d\rho l^2\\\\l^2 = \frac{mR}{d\rho} \\\l^2 = \frac {1.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.3}{8960 \times 1.7\times 10^{-8}}

l^2 = 8.534\\l =   2.92 \ m

Fiber-optic cables are used widely for internet wiring, data transmission, and surgeries. When light passes through a fiber-opti
Gwar [14]
After one meter, 3.4% of the light is gone ... either soaked up in the fiber
material or escaped from it.  So only  (100 - 3.4) = 96.6% of the light
remains, to go on to the next meter.

After the second meter,  96.6%  of what entered it emerges from it, and
that's  96.6%  of  96.6%  of the original signal that entered the beginning
of the fiber.

==>  After 2 meters, the intensity has dwindled to  (0.966)² of its original level.
It's that exponent of ' 2 ' that corresponds to the number of meters that the light
has traveled through.

==>  After  'x'  meters of fiber, the remaininglight intensity is (0.966) ^x-power
of its original value.

If you shine 1,500 lumens into the front of the fiber, then after 'x' meters of
cable, you'll have
                                                     <em>(1,500) · (0.966)^x</em>
lumens of light remaining.
 
=========================================

The genius engineers in the fiber design industry would not handle it this way.
When they look up the 'attenuation' of the cable in the fiber manufacturer's
catalog, it would say  "15dB per 100 meters".

What does that mean ?    Break it down:  15dB in 100 meters is <u>0.15dB per meter</u>.
Now, watch this:

Up at the top, the problem told us that the loss in 1 meter is  3.4% .  We applied
super high mathematics to that and calculated that  96.6% remains, or  0.966.

Look at this  ==>      10 log(0.966) =  <em><u>-0.15</u>  </em>  <==  loss per meter, in dB .

Armed with this information, the engineer ... calculating the loss in  'x'  meters of
fiber cable, doesn't have to mess with raising numbers to powers.  All he has to
do is say ...

--  0.15 dB loss per meter

--  'x' meters of cable

--  0.15x dB of loss.

If  'x' happens to be, say,  72 meters, then the loss is  (72) (0.15) = 10.8 dB .

and  10 ^ (-10.8/10) = 10 ^ -1.08 = 0.083  =  <em>8.3%</em>  <== <u>That's</u> how much light
he'll have left after 72 meters, and all he had to do was a simple multiplication.

Sorry. Didn't mean to ramble on. But I do stuff like this every day.
