The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

        F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

  • The thumb points in the direction of speed.
  • Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.
  • The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

  • If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.
  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

If the pressure of a gas sample is quadrupled and the absolute temperature is doubled. True or False
Vanyuwa [196]

The given statement"If the pressure of a gas sample is quadrupled and the absolute temperature is doubled" is false.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As we know the direct relationship between Pressure and Temperature by the Gay-Lussac’s Law,

                     P_{1} T_{1}=P_{2} T_{2}

From this, we get,

                     \frac{P_{1}}{T_{2}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{1}}

                     T_{2}=\frac{P_{1} T_{1}}{P_{2}}

So, according to given statement, we have P_{2} = 4 P_{1}

Then from the above expression, we can find out the value of T_{2} when pressure increased by 4 times of initial pressure as,

                     T_{2}=\frac{P_{1} T_{1}}{4 P_{1}}

Hence, we get,

                      T_{1}=4 T_{2}

Hence, from the above expression we can say that as we increase the pressure four times, the temperature does not get doubled. So, the given statement in the question is false.

You repeated a measurement 6 times and recorded the time using a stop watch: 5.8s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 4.3s, 4.6s. What average va
iVinArrow [24]

Answer and Explanation

Arranging the measured values in increasing order;

4.3s, 4.6s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 5.8s

The two outliers are obviously 4.3s and 5.8s; An outlier is a value in a statistical sample which does not fit a pattern that describes most other data point. Outliers make the average value complicated. So, it is usually better for data to be precise with data points spreading out around a small area.

So, the mean is the average of the four remaining data points after removing the outliers.

Mean = (4.6 + 4.6 + 4.8 + 5.1)/4

Mean = 4.775s

So, the value recorded should be 4.775s, 4.78s or 4.8s depending on the number of decimal places allowed.

What are some ways that electric fields are similar to magnetic fields?
sattari [20]

Answer:

The correct answers are the proportionality of the fields concerning distance, vector fields, and forces at a distance.

Explanation:

The similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields are that electric fields are produced by two charges that can be positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, although they are also produced by moving charges. Both fields are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the sources, both fields are vectorial and both act by distant forces.
