Answer;

1. strong nuclear force

2. electromagnetic force/ electric force

Explanation;

The more protons an element has, the harder it is to bring nuclei together. It takes more energy to trigger fusion in iron and other heavy elements. Lighter elements, such as helium and hydrogen, require less energy to bring about fusion. The sun, for instance, spends most of its life converting hydrogen into helium.

-The strong nuclear force depends on; a more massive the object is the more attractive the force produced and also as distance between objects increases, attractive force decreases at a faster rate.

A solenoid with 35 turns per centimeter carries a current I. An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle that has a radius

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The current of the solenoid is 0.0129 A.

Explanation:

The movement of the electron within the solenoid in a circle is produced by equaling the magnetic force and the centripetal force, as follows:

$F_{B} = F_{c}$

$e*v \mu_{0}*n*I = \frac{m*v^{2}}{r}$

$I = \frac{m*v}{e* \mu_{0}*n*r}$

Where:

I: is the current

m: is the electron's mass = 9.1x10⁺³¹ kg

v: is the electron's speed = 3.0x10⁵ m/s

μ₀: is the permeability magnetic = 4πx10⁻⁷ T.m/A

n: is the number of turns per unit length = 35/cm

r: is the radius of the circle = 3.0 cm

e: is the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

$I = \frac{m*v}{e*\mu_{0}*n*r} = \frac{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg*3.0 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} T.m/A*3500/m*0.03 m} = 0.0129 A$
