Hello!

Recall the equation for the current in an RC circuit as a capacitor is charging:
i(t) = \frac{\epsilon}{R}e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}

i(t) = Current as a function of time (2.0 mA)

ε = Emf of voltage source (20V)
R = Resistance of resistor (4kΩ)

C = Capacitance of capacitor (50 μF)

We can solve for the time at which the current in the circuit decreases to 2.0 mA by plugging in the given values and solving for 't'.

0.002 = \frac{20}{4000} e^{-\frac{t}{(4000)(0.00005)}}\\\\0.002 = 0.005 e^{-\frac{t}{(4000)(0.00005)}

Solve:
.4 = e^{-\frac{t}{0.2}}\\\\ln(.4) = -\frac{t}{0.2}\\\\t = -0.2(ln(.4)) = 0.1833 s

Now, we can solve for the charge on the capacitor using the equation for charge of a charging capacitor:
q(t) = C\epsilon(1 - e^{\frac{-t}{RC}})

Plug in the given values and the time we solved for.

q(t) = (0.00005)(20)(1 - e^{\frac{-0.1833}{(4000)(0.00005)}}) \\\\q(t) = 0.0006 = \boxed{600 \mu C}

You see a total eclipse of the sun. Three Saros cycles later, you find yourself at the same location.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. You would not have to travel far to see another total eclipse  .

Explanation:

it is said that the way to predict or know beforehand if there is a lunar or solar eclipse is just to know the what is called the saros which are periods of exactly 223 synodic months and the eclipses are repeated or occurred in the same location every 3 Saros cycles.

If Pressure = 1000 Pa and Area = 0.2 m square, then Force
Maksim231197 [3]

Here

Pressure=1000Pa

Area=0.2m Square

Force=?

Now,,

Pressure =force / Area

1000=force/0.2

force=1000/0.2

Therefore,Force=5000N

Which statement accurately describes what happens when water turns to steam in terms of energy?
Fynjy0 [20]
The correct answer is D. The water absorbs energy which causes the water molecules to have more kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from a liquid to a gas.

What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine? Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T S
Anna007 [38]

Efficiency of heat engine is determined by the ratio of difference in temperature of cold from hot reservoir to the temperature of hot reservoir over temperature of hot reservoir.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Efficiency is defined as the output from the input. So it is the ratio of energy output to the energy input. In case of temperature, it is the change in temperature from hot reservoir to cold reservoir with the overall hot reservoir temperature.

Efficiency =\frac{T_{h} -T_{c} }{T_{h} }

Thus, option A is the most suitable as the heat will be transferred from high temperature to low temperature. So the hot reservoir will be releasing the energy. So the conversion of hot reservoir temperature to cool reservoir temperature is defined as the efficiency. Thus, option A is the most suitable.
