1) An ac source of period T and maximum voltage V is connected to a single unknown ideal element that is either a resistor, and

inductor, or a capacitor. At time t = 0 the voltage is zero and increasing toward a maximum. At time t = T/4 the current in the unknown element is equal to zero and at time t = T/2 the current is I = -Imax (where Imax is the maximum current amplitude). What is the unknown element?

Answer: Capacitor

Explanation:

Given the following ;

At time, t = T/4 ; I = 0

At time, t = T/2 ; I = - Imax

Where T = period

We can confirm what the unknown element is by using the relation, such that the parameters satisfy the stated condition ;

Recall;

I = Iosin(wt + π/2) [for CAPACITOR]

w = 2π/T

At t = T/4

I = Iosin(2π/T(T/4) + π/2)

I = Iosin(π/2 + π/2)

I = Iosin(0)

I = 0

At t = T/2

I = Iosin(2π/T(T/2) + π/2)

I = Iosin(π + π/2)

I = Iosin(0)

I = Iosin(3π/2)

I = Iosin(540/2)

I = Iosin(270)

I = -Io

Note : Io = Imax

Both conditions are met, Hence, the unknown element is a CAPACITOR.

A book sitting on a table is moved horizontally. Describe the
Akimi4 [234]

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.  

Option: B  

<u>Explanation</u>:  

When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.

When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.

Formula for "frictional force" is \mu\times N

Where, \mu is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

660 J/kg/°C

Explanation:

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water

-m₁C₁ΔT₁ = m₂C₂ΔT₂

-(0.45 kg) C₁ (21°C − 80°C) = (0.70 kg) (4200 J/kg/°C) (21°C − 15°C)

C₁ = 660 J/kg/°C

A potential difference of 3.00 nV is set up across a 2.00 cm length of copper wire that has a radius of 2.00 mm. How much charge
Anvisha [2.4K]

The number of charge drifts are 3.35 X 10⁻⁷C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Potential difference, V = 3 nV = 3 X 10⁻⁹m

Length of wire, L = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Radius of the wire, r = 2 mm = 2 X 10⁻³m

Cross section, 3 ms

charge drifts, q = ?

We know,

the charge drifts through the copper wire is given by

q = iΔt

where Δt = 3 X 10⁻³s

and i = \frac{V}{R}

where R is the resistance

R = \frac{pL}{r^{2} \pi }

ρ is the resistivity of the copper wire = 1.69 X 10⁻⁸Ωm

So, i = \frac{\pi(r)^{2}V  }{pL}

q = \frac{\pi(r^{2} )Vt }{pL}

Substituting the values,

q = 3.14 X (0.02)² X 3 X 10⁻⁹ X 3 X 10⁻³ / 1.69 X 10⁻⁸ X 0.02

q = 3.35 X 10⁻⁷C

Therefore, the number of charge drifts are 3.35 X 10⁻⁷C
