Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The length of each rod is 1.1 m, while the mass of each is 0.064 kg. One rod is held in place above the ground, and the other floats beneath it at a distance of 12 mm. Determine the current in the rods.

185 A

Explanation:

In order for the rod to float above the ground, the magnetic force between the two rods must be equal to the weight of the floating rod.

So we can write:

where the term on the left is the magnetic force and the term on the right is the weight, and where:

is the vacuum permeability

is the current in the two rods (they carry the same current)

is the length of the floating rod

r is the distance between the rods

is the mass of the floating rod

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Here we have:

Therefore, solving for I, we find:

gravititional force is a force that is acting around you, it is non-contactable and it is a force that pulls you to the core of the earth.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
