The resistance and the magnitude of the current depend on the path that the current takes. The drawing shows three situations in

maria [59]

Answer: (a). Resistance = 0.4286ohms and Current (I) = 7A

(b). Resistance (R) = 0.027 ohms and Current (I) = 111.1A

(c). Resistance (R) = 0.1071 ohms and Current (I) = 28A

Explanation:

From the question, given that;

ρ = 1.5*10-2ῼ.m

Lo = 7cm = 0.07m

V = 3V

From the formula R = ρL/A, where A is the area of cross section, L is the length of material and ρ is the resistivity.

(A)

L = 4Lo and A = 2Lo*Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ4Lo/(2Lo*Lo)

R = 2ρ /Lo = 2*1.5*10-2/0.07

R = 0.4286 ῼ

From this the current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/ 0.4286 = 6.99 = 7A

(B)

L = Lo and A = 4Lo * 2Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρLo/ (4Lo*2Lo) after eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/8Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 8*0.07

R = 0.027

Current (I) = V/R = 3/0.027 = 111.1A

(C)

L = 2Lo and A = Lo * 4Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ2Lo/ (Lo*4Lo) eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/2Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 2*0.07 = 0.1071

The current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/0.1071 = 28A

An electric dipole is formed from ±1.00nC charges spaced 3.00 mm apart. The dipole is at the origin, oriented along the x-axis.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Value of electric field along the axis and equitorial axis $E=31.25\ N/c$ and $E = 15.625\ N/c$ respectively.

Explanation:

Given :

Distance between charges , $d = 3 \ mm =\dfrac{3}{1000}\ m=3\times 10^{-3}\ m.$

Magnitude of charges , $q=1\ nC = 10^{-9}\ C.$

Dipole moment , $p=qL=10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^{-3}=3\times 10^{-12} \ C\ m.$

Case A) (x,y) = (12.0 cm, 0 cm) :

Electric field of dipole in its axis ,

$E=\dfrac{2kp}{r^3}$

Putting all values and $r=12\times 10^{-2}\ m.$

We get , $E=31.25\ N/c.$

Case B) (x,y) = (0 cm, 12.0 cm) :

Electric field of dipole on equitorial axis ,

$E = \dfrac{kp}{r^3}$

Putting all values and $r=12\times 10^{-2}\ m.$

We get , $E = 15.625\ N/c.$

Hence , this is the required solution.

3) Magnets are used to separate steel cans from aluminum cans in recycling plants. How can

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.
