Concept explainers

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

1. A large power cable carries I = 200 A in a straight line East-West for L = 100 m to a device and returns the same current to the power source in the opposite direction. The return path is also straight and runs parallel to the first path directly above it. Up > North ○ South West- East Device 100 m Current Source Down The cable is made of copper with resistivity po = 17.2×10 Qm and mass density pcu = 8960 kg/m³. The cable has a diameter of d = 8.00 cm. a) What force (magnitude and direction) is exerted on the outgoing (+) cable by the magnetic field of the earth? Use a value of B = 40.0 μT for the earth's field, and assume it points, straight north. [1 point] b) Is there a force between the two cables, and is it attractive or repulsive? Briefly explain your answer. [0.5 points] c) How far apart should the two cables be kept so that the force between them is less than 1.0 N? [1 point] d) Suppose the cables are set apart at the distance you got in c). How much torque is exerted on the…
