Why is soft iron used for the core of an electromagnet?

Physics
2 answers:
aliina [53]3 years ago

Answer:

Because of the high permeability and high saturation level of holding magnetism.

Explanation:

Soft iron always used in the core of an electromagnet because of the following reason which are discussed below.

  • Permeability: These magnets are highly permeable means they can gain magnetism when current is passes through them and instantly loose magnetism after removal of current.
  • High saturation level: The property of these soft magnets are they have the high value of saturation means they can hold high level of magnetism without easily saturating.

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω ,  V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance  

         R_{eq} = ∑ R_{i}

* For resistance in parallel

        1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

         R_B = Rb + R4

         R_B = 2 + 18

         R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

         R_C5 = Rc + R5

         R_C5 = 3 + 12

         R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

         1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

          1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

          R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

          R_total = R_A + R_BC

          R_total = 6 + 8.57

          R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

           10 = V_a + V_BC

           10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

           i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

           i = 10 / (14.57)

           i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

          V_BC = i R_BC

          V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

          V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

     Branch C

             V_BC = i R_C5

             i = V_BC / R_C5

             i = 5.8819 / 15

             i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

             V_C = i R_C

              V_C = 0.39213 3

              V_C = 1.176 V

An electron is accelerated through 2400 V from rest and then enters a region in which there is a uniform 1.70 T magnetic field.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let v be the velocity acquired by electron in electric field

V q = 1/2 m v²

V is potential difference applied on charge q , m is mass of charge , v is velocity acquired

2400 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x v²

v² = 844 x 10¹²

v = 29.05 x 10⁶ m /s

Maximum force will be exerted on moving electron when it moves perpendicular to magnetic field .

Maximum force = Bqv , where B is magnetic field , q is charge on electron and v is velocity of electron

= 1.7 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 29.05 x 10⁶

= 79.02 x 10⁻¹³ N .

Minimum force will be zero when electron moves along the direction of magnetic field .

How can water boil without heat?​
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Put water at room temperature into a vacuum chamber and begin removing the air. Eventually, the boiling temperature will fall below the water temperature and boiling will begin without heating. Or if you want to be easy but messy, add dry ice to a bowl of water and watch how the water starts to boil.
