Answer:

Explanation:

The flow of electrons. A current means the flow of electrons and without a current there would be no electricity therefore the bulb would not light up.

How does a generator work?

insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other so that their transmission directions form an angle of 45 ° . A be

makvit [3.9K]

The transmitted intensity will be the quarter of the incident intensity of light, (I = 0.25 I₀), when two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other forming the angle of 45°.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Polarizers are used for constraining the direction of propagation of light waves. So depending upon the angle of polarizer, the transmitted rays will follow that angle only and the remaining lights waves at different angles will be reflected back. So basically it works like a filter or optical filters.

So, the transmitted intensity will be less compared to the original intensity of light as the beam will get confined in a particular angle.

The relation between transmitted intensity and incident intensity is given by Malus's law.

$I = { \frac {I_{0}} {2}} \times cos^{2} \alpha$

Here, I is the transmitted intensity, I₀ is the incident intensity and α is the angle of the polarizer.

In the present case, two polarizers are used with same angle, so the first one termed as polarizer, while the second one will be termed as analyzer. The angle which is used to polarize the intensity of the incident beam is the angle of 45°.

Then, according to Malus's law,

I = I₀ cos² 45 = (I₀/2)×(1/√2)² = I₀/4 = $0.25\ I_0$

So, the transmitted intensity will be the quarter of the incident intensity of light, (I = 0.25 I₀), when two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other forming the angle of 45°.

A scared elephant has a mass of 7000 kg. The mouse that frightened the elephant is 0.02 kg. The distance between the elephant an

arsen [322]

a. $9.34\cdot 10^{-9} N$

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M,m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

In this problem, we have:

M = 7000 kg is the mass of the elephant

m = 0.02 kg is the mass of the mouse

r = 1 m is the separation

Substituting into the equation, we find the gravitational force exerted by the elephant on the mouse:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(7000)(0.02)}{1^2}=9.34\cdot 10^{-9} N$

b. $-9.34\cdot 10^{-9}N$

We can solve this part by keeping in mind Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on object B, then object B exerts and equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A".

In our problem, we can identify the elephant as object A and the mouse as object B: this means that the gravitational force exerted by the elephant on the mouse is the action, while the gravitational force exerted by the mouse on the elephant is the reaction. The two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the mouse on the elephant is equal to

$F=-9.34\cdot 10^{-9}N$

where the negative sign simply means that the direction is opposite.
