The function of a capacitor in an electric circuit is to?

Physics
1 answer:
Tema [17]3 years ago
4 0

Well let's see:

A). No.  A capacitor doesn't measure anything.

B). No.  The power delivered to the circuit is determined by
              the battery or power supply and all the things in
              the circuit that dissipate energy.  A capacitor doesn't
              do any of these things.

C). No.  If any current actually flows between its plates,
             the capacitor is shot and can't do its job, and
             must be replaced.

D). Yes. A capacitor stores charges on its plates, and
              electrical energy in the field between its plates.

How is it possible for a person watching a baseball game on TV to hear sounds before someone who is actually watching the same g
Andreyy89

Answer:

It is possible because, the TV broadcast audio and video signals in radio frequency which travels at the speed of light while the audio signals travel to those present in the stadium at the speed of sound which is over eight hundred thousand times slower than the speed of light

Explanation:

It is possible because of the following;

1. TV signals from the camera (including the captured sound) very close to the field of play are transmitted through the radio frequency bands and as such are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels at the speed of light which is about 300,000 km/second

It will therefore, take 1 second for a sound of the game to reach someone located at 300,000,000 meters watching a live televised game

2. The speed of sound is about 343 m/second and it therefore takes up to 2 seconds for a sound to reach someone 686 meters away from the ball in the stadium.

What are some examples of wave refractions?​
ankoles [38]

-- The lenses of eyeglasses work because of refraction.

-- A pencil standing in a half-glass of water looks broken because of refraction.

-- The lenses and mirrors in telescopes and microscopes work because of refraction.

-- When the sun is setting and it looks squashed ... shorter and wider than a true circle ... that's caused by refraction of the sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.

How do we know that solar system formed from a spinning disk of gas and dust
Mademuasel [1]

The evidence of this research is published in the scientific journal Nature communication.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Our solar system shaped about 4.5 billion years prior from a thick haze of interstellar gas and residue. The cloud crumbled, potentially due to the shock wave of a close by detonating star, called a supernova. At the point when this residue cloud crumbled, it framed a sun powered cloud—a turning, whirling plate of material.

The research is distributed in the latest issue of journal Nature Communications. About 4.6 billion years prior, a haze of gas and residue that in the end framed our nearby planetary group was upset. The following gravitational breakdown framed the proto-Sun with an encompassing plate where the planets were conceived.

Calculate the net force on particle q1.
antoniya [11.8K]

By applying Coulomb's law between the charges, the net force on the charged particle q₁ due to particle q₂ and q₃ is -9.86 N.

<h3>Distance between q₂ and q₃</h3>

The distance between the second charge and the third charge is given as;

r = 0.3 m

<h3>Force on q₂ due to q₃</h3>

F_{2} = \frac{kq_2q_3}{r^2} \\\\F_{2}= \frac{(8.99\times10^9) (7.7 \times 10^{-6})(5.9\times 10^{-6}) }{0.3^2} \\\\F_2 = 4.54\ N

<h3>Net force on particle q₁</h3>

The net force on particle q₁ is determined by summing the individual forces together;

F(net) = F₁ + F₂

F(net) = -14.4 + 4.54

F(net) = -9.86 N

Thus, by applying Coulomb's law between the charges, the net force on the charged particle q₁ due to particle q₂ and q₃ is -9.86 N.
