Answer
An induced magnet is a material that becomes a magnet when it is placed in a magnetic field. It loses most or all of its magnetism quickly when removed from the magnetic field.

Answer
To find the magnetic flux density, we can use the formula:
B=I⋅LF
where:
F=0.013 N (force)
I=16 mA=0.016 A
L=6.5 m
Substituting the values gives us:
B=0.016×6.50.013=0.125 T
Thus, the magnetic flux density around the coil is 0.125 T.

Answer
From Figure 13, it can be observed that as frequency increases, the minimum sound level that can be heard also tends to increase for all three individuals. Individual A, who has always worked in a loud environment, can hear at lower sound levels compared to individual C, who has worked in a quiet environment. Moreover, individual B, who has also worked in a quiet environment but is older, displays characteristics similar to individual C, indicating age also influences hearing ability. This suggests that frequency sensitivity is not only dependent on age but also on the acoustic environments in which individuals have spent their time.
