Senses provide information about the body and its environment. Humans have five special senses: olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), equilibrium (balance and body position), vision, and hearing. Additionally, we possess general senses, also called somatosensation, which respond to stimuli like temperature, pain, pressure, and vibration. Vestibular sensation, which is an organism’s sense of spatial orientation and balance, proprioception (position of bones, joints, and muscles), and the sense of limb position that is used to track kinesthesia (limb movement) are part of somatosensation. Although the sensory systems associated with these senses are very different, all share a common function: to convert a stimulus (such as light, or sound, or the position of the body) into an electrical signal in the nervous system. This process is called sensory transduction.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Length of wire, l = 0.53 m
Current, I = 0.2 A
(1.) Approximate formula:
We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic field made by the current at a location 2.0 cm from the wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m
The formula for magnetic field at some distance from the wire is given by :
B = 0.000002 T
(2) Exact formula:
B = 0.00000199 T
or
B = 0.000002 T
Hence, this is the required solution.
