A nail gets magnetized when kept close to a magnet

Physics

avanturin [10]2 years ago

In unmagnetized materials the domains are randomly aligned in different directions and cancel each other out. In a magnet all the domains are oriented in the same direction. In the case of a nail, the domains can be aligned in the same direction causing the nail to become magnetic.

If you wished to warm 100 kg of water by 15 degrees celsius for your bath, how much heat would be required? (give your answer in
Anit [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, 
<span>Q = amount of heat (kJ) </span>
<span>cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK </span>
<span>m = mass (kg) </span>
<span>dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin </span>

<span>Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K </span>
<span>Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal</span>

Explain the process of ionic bond formation between K( potassium a metal) and Br(bromine a nonmetal)
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Potassium belongs to group IA of the elements. This means that it will give up one of its electrons to form the cation K+. Opposite to that is bromine in which it accepts one electrons to form the anion Br-. The binding of these elements will form KBr and is formed from transfer of electron from one element to the other. This is the mechanism of ionic bond formation.

Two circular rods, one steel and the other copper, are joined end to end. Each rod is 0.750 m long and 1.50 cm in diameter. The
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

(a) Steel rod: 1.1 * 10^{-4}

    Copper rod: 1.88 * 10^{-4}

(b) Steel rod: 8.3 * 10^{-5} m

Copper rod: 1.41 * 10^{-4} m

Explanation:

Length of each rod = 0.75 m

Diameter of each rod = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m

Tensile force exerted = 4000 N

(a) Strain is given as the ratio of change in length to the original length of a body. Mathematically, it is given as

Strain = \frac{1}{Y} * \frac{F}{A}

where Y = Young modulus

F = Fore applied

A = Cross sectional area

For the steel rod:

Y =  200 000 000 000 N/m^{2}

F = 4000N

A = \pi r^{2}      (r = d/2 = 0.015/2 = 0.0075 m)

=> A = \pi * (0.0075)^{2}

=> A = 0.000177 m^{2}

∴ Strain = \frac{4000}{200000000000 * 0.000177} \\\\Strain = \frac{4000}{35400000}\\ \\Strain = 0.000113 = 1.13 * 10^{-4}

For the copper rod:

Y =  120 000 000 000 N/m²

F = 4000N

A = \pi r^{2}      (r = d/2 = 0.015/2 = 0.0075 m)

=> A = \pi * (0.0075)^{2}

=> A = 0.000177 m^{2}

Strain = \frac{4000}{120 000 000 000 * 0.000177} \\\\Strain = \frac{4000}{21240000}\\ \\Strain =  = 1.88 * 10^{-4}

(b) We can find the elongation by multiplying the Strain by the original length of the rods:

Elongation = Strain * Length

For the steel rod:

Elongation = 1.1 * 10^{-4} * 0.75 = 8.3 * 10^{-5} m

For the copper rod:

Elongation = 1.88 * 10^{-4} * 0.75 = 1.41 * 10^{-4} m

B) Explain the method of preparing electromagnet. How do you test the
kap26 [50]

Answer:

An electromagnet is made by forming a coil around a soft iron bar (known here as the metal) such as a nail or  screw and connect with an insulated copper wire (known here as the electric current conductor) the ends of the wound copper is then connected separately to the positive and negative terminals of a battery (known here as the source of electric current)

The north seeking needle of the magnetic compass will move away when brought close to the north pole of the formed electromagnet which can then be labelled N

The magnetic compass needle will be attracted to the south pole of the electromagnet which can then be labelled S

Explanation:

An electromagnet is an electric powered magnet that is formed (temporarily) by the perpendicular movement of electric current with respect to a metal core

The magnitude and the poles of an electromagnet can be changed by changing the magnitude and the direction of flow of the electric current respectively.
