In 2005, the government of brazil released information showing that over 10,000 square miles of the amazon rain forest had been destroyed. cattle ranching is the leading cause of deforestation reported by the brazilian government. what will most likely be the immediate result of deforestation in the amazon rain forest?

a decrease in the rate of soil erosion

an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide

an increase in biodiversity in the region

a decrease in the use of alternative energy

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?
