marshall27 [118]

He repealed federal taxes, Jefferson reduced military spending. He bought Louisiana from France. Considering only all these positive points and leaving aside the negative ones, one would say that the statement that "Jefferson's administration was the beginning of popular government in the United States." Is True!

A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.210 m square, spaced 0.815 cm apart. it is connected to a 120 v battery

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

at the beginning: $2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F$

when the plates are pulled apart: $1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=k \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}$

where

k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the permittivity of free space

A is the area of the plates of the capacitor

d is the separation between the plates

In this problem, we have:

$A=0.210 m^2$ is the area of the plates

$d=0.815 cm=8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m$ is the separation between the plates at the beginning

Substituting into the formula, we find

$C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m}=2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F$

Later, the plates are pulled apart to $d=1.63 cm=0.0163 m$ , so the capacitance becomes

$C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{0.0163 m}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F$

If one light bulb burns out in a string of lights, and the rest stay lit, it is reasonable to assume that the lights are wired i

Blizzard [7]

The lights are wired in PARALLEL.

In fact, when the lights are connected in parallel, they are connected on separate branches to the source of voltage, so if one light bulb burns out, the other lights continue to work because the current continues to flow in the other branches of the circuit.

Vice-versa, if the light bulbs are connected in series, they are on the same branch This means that if one of them burns out, the circuit is open in that point, so the current cannot flow anymore and the other light bulbs turn off as well.

stich3 [128]

The back-and-forth movement of electrons is called alternating current. Electrons go back and forth, the direction of their path alternates from one direction to another.

the movement of electrons in one direction is called direct current. The electrons move in a direct, single path without changing directions.
