Answer:

2 J

Explanation:

A charged capacitor of capacitance C_1 with energy of 7.54 J, is connected in parallel with another capacitor C_2 , so the charge is equally distributed between them.

(a) The energy stored in the capacitor before it being connected to the other capacitor is:

U_O=q_0^2/2C_1=7.54 J\\

The energy stored in the electric field is the sum of the energies of the two capacitors:

U=U_1+U_2\\U=q_1^2/2C_1+q_2^2/2C_2

since the charge equally distributed,  q_1 = q_2 = q_o/2. and since they are connected in parallel the potential difference on both of them is the same :

V_1=V_2\\q_1/C_1=q_2/C_2\\q_0/C_1=q_0/C_2\\C_1=C_2=C_3\\

hence,

U=q_0^2/8C+q_0^2/8C\\U=q_0^2/4C\\U=2J

If 3600 j of work is done in 3.0 s what is the power<br>0.00083W<br>1200W<br>3600W<br>11000W
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1200 W

Explanation:

Power is given by the ratio between work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t the time taken.

In this problem, W = 3600 J and t = 3.0 s. Therefore, the power in this exercise is

P=\frac{3600 J}{3.0 s}=1200 W
