Define and apply current Define and apply resistance 1. A number of identical lamps are each mark 12V, 2.0 W. The lamps are connected in series to a 240 V mains supply and each lamp lights with normal brightness. (a) Calculate (i) the number of lamps connected in series,

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?

I'm thinking it's 2 you are asked to explain the earth's magnetic field. which is the best reply? 1. the earth's magnetic south is similar to the north pole of a magnet. 2. the earth's core has a strong magnetic charge similar to the south pole of a magnet. 3. the earth's geomagnetic south is similar to the south pole of a magnet. 4. the earth's magnetic charge is not centered at either pole; it varies based on location.

Under the action of a constant force an object accelerates at 7.8 m/s2. what will the acceleration be if (a) the force is halved? (b) the object's mass is halved? (c) the force and the object's mass are both halved? (d) the force is halved and the object's mass is doubled?
