Explanation The law of Biot and Savart is the most fundamental law and Ampere's law is a derivative of it. To start with the law of Biot and Savart is the most fundamental law and Ampere's law is a derivative from it. Also the Ampere’s law can be used only in particular cases. For example, it requires symmetry while solving the problem. Ampere’s law has a problem of assuming the magnetic field as constant. So, symmetry and constant field are prerequisites of the Ampere’s law. This makes it available only for finite elements. This is also an advantage while calculating the B value as it will be constant at all points of the line. Hence, the Amperes law will be easy to use...

Ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetism is a mechanism by which some materials show magnetic properties. Iron and magnetite, an oxide of iron, are two naturally occurring materials that show the property of ferromagnetism. The word ferromagnetism is derived from the Latin name o…

Two concrete spans of a 234 m long bridge are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Figure a). Each span therefore has a length of L0 = 117 m. If the temperature increases by 17.8 °C, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Figure b)? (The coefficient of linear expansion of concrete is 1.20⋅10−51.20⋅10-5 °C−1.)

Monkey D. Luffy, from One Piece can inflate himself like a balloon to a size of 6.98 m3 by inhaling 1.74⋅10^26 molecules of air. If the air is at 20.9 ˚C, the pressure inside Luffy is 101277.062 Pa. kB=1.38⋅10^−23 J/K. The total internal energy of the gas inside Luffy is 1065333.93 J. How fast, on average, is the air molecules inside Luffy traveling at? The average mass of an air molecule (considering the various gasses involved) is 4.51 x 10^-26 kg.

The Dungeons & Dragons spell “Stinking Cloud” fills a 949 m^3 volume of air with a cloud of gas. The pressure of the gas is the same as the air, 101,325 Pa, and is at 29.2°C. There are 2.304x10^28 molecules of gas. What is the total internal energy of the gas?
