Question

Determine the values of mm and nn when the following average magnetic field strength of the Earth is written in scientific notation: 0.0000451 TT. Enter m and n, separated by commas.

Answer 1

m = 4.51 and n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average magnetic field strength of the Earth is 0.0000451 T. We need to write the value of magnetic field strength of the Earth in scientific notation. In scientific notation, any value is given by :

`N=m* 10^n`.........(1)

Where

m is a real number

n is any integer

Here,

`N=4.51* 10^(-5)`.......(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2), we get the values as :

m = 4.51 and n = -5

Hence, this is the required solution.
