AI Thread Summary
The discussion evaluates the correctness of statements regarding the magnetic field around a wire. It confirms that the magnetic field points radially outward from the wire is false, while the magnitude of the field being inversely proportional to the distance from the wire is true. Additionally, it states that the magnetic field forms concentric circles around the wire, which is also true. The other statements regarding the direct proportionality of the field's magnitude to distance and its relationship to the square of the distance are deemed false. Understanding these fundamental concepts is essential for grasping electromagnetic theory.

all are correct. these are basic facts and such concepts must be cleared while studying theory itself.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
