If you were to walk toward a Van der Graaff generator, the effect of its electrical field would get weaker as you walked towards

it.

This is False.  

If you walk towards a Vander Graaff generator and touch it, your body will be electrically charged with the same sign as the generator (that’s why your hair stands up, because it is charged with static electricity, and…electrical charges of the same sign repel each other)

Note that the Vander Graaff generator is isolated from the ground, so, if the electrical charge is increased, electrical arcs will form and fly off it to any nearby grounded object or person.

The magnetic field at the center of a 1.50-cm-diameter loop is 2.70 mT . Part A. What is the current in the loop?
elixir [45]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the circular loop, d = 1.5 cm

Radius of the circular loop, r = 0.0075 m

Magnetic field, B=2.7\ mT=2.7\times 10^{-3}\ T

(A) We need to find the current in the loop. The magnetic field in a circular loop is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2r}

I=\dfrac{2Br}{\mu_o}

I=\dfrac{2\times 2.7\times 10^{-3}\times 0.0075}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}

I = 32.22 A

(b) The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}

r=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B}

r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 32.22}{2\pi \times 2.7\times 10^{-3}}

r = 0.00238 m

r=2.38\times 10^{-3}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume
enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g  =  .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

=  .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.
