Question Statement:

B The temperature of the gas remains unchanged Internal energy of the gas decreases Temperature of the gas decreases as it expands to fill the space in chamber B Internal energy of the gas increases as its atoms have more space to move around Particle A with angular momentum J = decays into two particles B and C with angular momenta j, and / respectively. If 1f ® ®(22)c) the value of a is Far from the Earth, the Earth's magnetic field can be approximated as due to a bar magnet of magnetic pole strength 4x10'4 Am. Assume this magnetic field is generated by a current carrying loop encircling the magnetic equator. The current required to do so is about 4x10" A, where n is an integer. The value of n is
