Question
Chapter 33, Problem 14RQ
To determine
Whether the lifetime of a high-mass star larger or shorter than that of a low-mass star.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 14RQ
Lifetime of low-mass star is larger as compared to high-mass star.
Explanation of Solution
A star**#x0027s life cycle depends on the mass enclosed in it. The larger the mass of the star, the shorter its life cycle. A star's mass depends on the amount of matter that is available in its nebula. This matter triggers the process of nuclear fusion.
The larger the star, faster the process of nuclear fusion and faster the depletion of its mass as compared to a low-mass star, while low-mass star slow process of utilizing its mass, which increases its lifetime relative to the high-mass star.
Conclusion:
Therefore, lifetime of low-mass star is larger as compared to high-mass star.

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why.
