can i Ask what do they mean by 75 degree below the north -south plane?
North-southplane and north-south axis is the same thing?
North-southplane and north-south axis is the same thing?
reyunknown said:At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 × 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north–south plane. A 10.0-m-long straight wire carries a 15-A current. (a) If the current is directed horizontally toward the east, what are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the wire? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force if the current is directed vertically upward?
so how do i answer this ques? I dun get imagine the diagram..with the north-south axis
The North-South Plane is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into two hemispheres, the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It runs perpendicular to the Earth's axis and passes through the North and South poles.
The North-South Plane is important because it helps us understand the Earth's geography and climate. It also plays a role in navigation and time zones.
The purpose of the North-South Plane is to provide a reference point for mapping and navigation. It also helps us understand the Earth's tilt and its relationship to the sun.
The North-South Plane does not directly affect the Earth's climate, but it does play a role in determining the distribution of sunlight and the seasons. The areas near the equator receive more sunlight and tend to have warmer climates, while the areas near the poles receive less sunlight and tend to have colder climates.
The North-South Plane and the Prime Meridian are often confused, but they are different. The North-South Plane runs perpendicular to the Earth's axis and divides the Earth into hemispheres, while the Prime Meridian runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and divides the Earth into Eastern and Western hemispheres.
