Given Information:

Voltage = 6.16 V

Resistance = 500 Ω

Capacitance = 1.5 µF  

Required Information:

Initial current = I = ?

Time constant = τ = ?

Current after 1 time constant = ?

Voltage after 1 time constant = ?

Answer:

I₀ = 0.0123 A

τ = 0.00075 sec

I = 0.00452 A

V = 3.89 V

Explanation:

(a) What is the initial current?

The initial current can be found using

I₀ = Voltage/Resistance

I₀ = 6.16/500

I₀ = 0.0123 A

(b) What is the RC time constant?

The time constant τ provides the information about how long it will take to charge the capacitor.

τ = R*C

τ = 500*1.5x10⁻⁶

τ = 0.00075 sec

(c) What is the current after one time constant?

I = I₀e^(-τ/RC)

I = 0.0123*e^(-1)   (0.00075/0.00075 = 1)

I = 0.00452 A

(d) What is the voltage on the capacitor after one time constant?

V = V₀(1 - e^(-τ/RC))

Where V₀ is the initial voltage 6.16 V

V = 6.16(1 - e^(-1))

V = 6.16*0.63212

V = 3.89 V

That means the capacitor will charge up to 3.89 V in one time constant.

Answer:

a) 0.01232 A

b) 0.00075 s = 0.75 ms

c) 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) 3.894 V

Explanation:

R = 500 Ω

V = 6.16 V

C = 1.50 μF

Let Vs be the voltage of the emf source

Let Vc be the voltage across the capacitor at any time

a) Current flows as a result of potential difference between two points. So, the current flows according to difference in voltage between the emf source and the capacitor.

At time t = 0,

There is no voltage on the capacitor; Vc = 0 V

Current in the circuit is given by

I = (Vs - Vc)/R

I = (6.16 - 0)/500

I = 0.01232 A

b) Time constant for an RC circuit is given by τ

τ = RC = (500) (1.5 × 10⁻⁶) = 0.00075 s

c) The current decay in an RC circuit (called decay because the current in the circuit starts to fall as the capacitor's voltage rises as the capacitor charges) is given by

I = I₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

where k = (1/τ)

I₀ = Current in the circuit at t = 0 s; I₀ = 0.01232 A

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, kt = (τ/τ) = 1

I = 0.01232 e⁻¹ = 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) The voltage for a charging capacitor is given by

Vc = Vs (1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ)

where k = (1/τ)

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, Vc = ?, Vs = 6.16 V, kt = 1

Vc = 6.16 (1 - e⁻¹) = 6.16 (0.6321)

Vc = 3.894 V

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 900. milliliters and a pressure of 2.50 atm at 298 K. What is the new pressure when the t
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

<em>The new pressure = 5.64 atm.</em>

Explanation:

Using The general gas equation,

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂..................... Equation 1

making P₂ the subject of the equation

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁ ...................... Equation 2

Where P₁ = initial pressure, V₁ = initial Volume, T₁ = Initial temperature, P₂ = final pressure, V₂ = final volume, T₂ = final Temperature.

<em>Given: P ₁= 2.5 atm, T₁ = 298 K, V₁= 900 milliliters, T ₂= 336 K, V₂ = 450 milliliters</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2,</em>

<em>P₂ = (2.5×900×336)/(298×450)</em>

P₂ = 756000/134100

P₂ = 5.64 atm.

<em>Thus the new pressure = 5.64 atm.</em>

A sealed box contains a monatomic ideal gas. The number of gas atoms per unit volume is 5.00 * 1020 atoms&gt;cm3, and the averag
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Pressure,P=6×10^3Pa

Explanation:

The gas has an ideal gas behaviour and ideal gas equation

PV=NKT

T= V/N p/K ...eq1

Average transitional kinetic energy Ktr=1.8×10-23J

Ktr=3/2KT

T=2/3Ktr/K....eq2

Equating eq1 and 2

V/N p/K = 2/3Ktr/K

Cancelling K on both sides

P= 2/3N/V( Ktr)

Substituting the value of N/V and dividing by 10^-6 to convert cm^3 to m^3

P = 2/3 (5.0×10^20)/10^-6 × 1.8×10^-23

P= 6 ×10^3Pa

Gravitational attraction depends on the mass of the objects as well as their distance. The gravitational force between objects i
shepuryov [24]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction will be the same</h2>

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}    (1)

Where:

F is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

G is the universal gravitation constant.

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both bodies.

r is the distance between both bodies

Now, if we double both masses and the distance also doubles, this means:

m_{1} and m_{2} will be now 2m_{1} and 2m_{2}

r will be now 2r

Let's rewrite the equation (1) with this new values:

F=G\frac{(2m_{1})(2m_{2})}{(2r)^2}    (2)

Solving and simplifying:

F=4G\frac{m_{1}2m_{2}}{4r^2}    

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}     (3)

As we can see, equation (3) is the same as equation (1).

So, if the masses both double and the distance also doubles the <u>Gravitational attraction between both masses will remain the same.</u>
