To Describe: The direction of the current in a wire by two ways.

Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When
The direction of the current can be determined by finding the direction of the magnetic field using a compass and them using the Maxwell’s right hand rule to determine the direction of the current.
Another method is to use a strong magnet. The current carrying wire in the influence of the magnet will experience force. The direction of the current then can be determined by using Fleming’s left had rule.
Conclusion:
The direction of the current can be determined by finding the direction of the magnetic field using a compass and them using the Maxwell’s right hand rule to determine the direction of the current.
Another method is to use a strong magnet. The current carrying wire in the influence of the magnet will experience force. The direction of the current then can be described by using Fleming’s left-hand rule.

- An ideal gas in a sealed container starts out at a pressure of 8900 N/m2 and a volume of 5.7 m3. If the gas expands to a volume of 6.3 m3 while the pressure is held constant (still at 8900 N/m2), how much work is done by the gas? Give your answer as the number of Joules.arrow_forwardThe outside temperature is 25 °C. A heat engine operates in the environment (Tc = 25 °C) at 50% efficiency. How hot does it need to get the high temperature up to in Celsius?arrow_forwardGas is compressed in a cylinder creating 31 Joules of work on the gas during the isothermal process. How much heat flows from the gas into the cylinder in Joules?arrow_forward
