A polar jet is a belt of winds about 600 miles wide, flowing as fast as 400km/hr in its central "core".

The wind speeds are greatest where temperature differences between air masses are greatest, and often exceed 92 km/h . Speeds of 400 km/h  have been measured.One factor that contributes to the creation of a concentrated polar jet is the undercutting of sub-tropical air masses by the more dense polar air masses at the polar front. This causes a sharp north-south pressure (south-north potential vorticity) gradient in the horizontal plane, an effect which is most significant during double Rossby wave breaking events.

At high altitudes, lack of friction allows air to respond freely to the steep pressure gradient with low pressure at high altitude over the pole. This results in the formation of planetary wind circulations that experience a strong Coriolis deflection and thus can be considered 'quasi-geostrophic'. The polar front jet stream is closely linked to the frontogenesis process in midlatitudes, as the acceleration/deceleration of the air flow induces areas of low/high pressure respectively, which link to the formation of cyclones and anticyclones along the polar front in a relatively narrow region.

N LC circuit has an oscillation frequency of 105 Hz. If C = 0.1 F , then L must be about:
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

L = 22.97 H

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance, C=0.1\ \mu F=0.1\times 10^{-6}\ F

Oscillation frequency, f = 0.5 Hz

The frequency of an AC circuit is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} }

Where

L is impedance

f^2=\dfrac{1}{4\pi ^2LC}\\\\L=\dfrac{1}{4\pi ^2 f^2 C}\\\\\text{Putting all the values}\\\\L=\dfrac{1}{4\pi^2 \times (105)^2\times 0.1\times 10^{-6}}\\\\L=22.97\ H

So, the impedance of LC circuit 22.97 H.
