(a) The time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms.

(b) The time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its charge</h3>

q(t) = q₀e-^(t/RC)

q(t)/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5q₀/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5 = e-^(t/RC)

1/2 =  e-^(t/RC)

t/RC = ln(2)

t = RC x ln(2)

t = (12 x 10⁻⁶ x 265) x ln(2)

t = 2.2 x 10⁻³ s

t = 2.2 ms

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its stored energy</h3>

U(t) = Ue-^(t/RC)

U = ¹/₂Q²/C

(Ue-^(t/RC))²/2C = Q₀²/2Ce

e^(2t/RC) = e

2t/RC = 1

t = RC/2

t = (265 x 12 x 10⁻⁶)/2

t = 1.59 x 10⁻³ s

t = 1.59 ms

Thus, the time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms and the time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

Which of the following are scalar quantities?
kirill [66]

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.

A particular 12 V car battery can send a total charge of 110 A·h (ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the othe
DiKsa [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)

Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;

=> Q = 110A·h

=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h          [1 hour = 3600 seconds]

=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s

=> Q = 396000A·s

=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C

Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;

E = Q x V           -----------------(i)

Where;

Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C

V = electric potential = 12V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12

E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J

E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J
