Four students use different instruments to measure the length of the same pen. which measurement implies the greatest precision?
a. 16.0 cm.
b. 0.160 m.
c. 0.00016 km.
d. need more information.
e. 160.0 mm

e. 160.0 mm

Explanation:

Precision is defined as the accuracy in measurement that the measuring instrument measure any given specimen. The instrument having the lowest least count will be more precise than the instrument with higher least count.

Also precision of the reading is given by the number of the significant figures in the given sample of reading.

Option (e) that is 160.0 has a total number of significant figure of 4, which is the largest total significant figures among the other options.

Also the measurement reads 160.0 mm which measure to the lowest possible measurement of the given pen. Thus this reading is more precise.

Hence the correct option is --- Option (e) 160.0 mm

a solenoid is created by wrapping a l = 90 m long wire around a hollow tube of diameter d = 4.5 cm.   the wire diameter is d = 0.9 mm.   the solenoid wire is then connected to a power supply so that a current of i = 9 a flows through the wire.

randomized variablesl = 90 m

d = 4.5 cm

d = 0.9 mm

i = 9 a                                          

write an expression for the number of turns, n, in the solenoid. you do not need to take into account the diameter of the wire in this calculation.

calculate the number of turns, n, in the solenoid.

write an expression for the length of the solenoid (l2) in terms of the diameter of the hollow tube d.

calculate the length of the solenoid (l2)   in meters.

calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid in teslas.
