The answer is D) absorb most of the light that falls on them

A blackbody is an object that absorbs most (theoretically all) of the light that falls on it. Stars are called black bodies because they demonstrate something close to this property. Why do they appear white and not black? As black body radiators heat up, they slowly turn from black to grey to white, according to the human eye. Since stars are incredibly hot, they appear white to us.

How would you find the total energy stored in the

likoan [24]

Answer:

The energy of the capacitors connected in parallel is 0.27 J

Given:

C = $2.0\micro F = 2.0\times 10^{- 6} F$

C' = $4.0\micro F = 4.0\times 10^{- 6} F$

Potential difference, V = 300 V

Solution:

Now, we know that the equivalent capacitance of the two parallel connected capacitors is given by:

$C_{eq} = C + C' = 2.0 + 4.0 = 6.0\micro F = 6.0\times 10^{- 6} F$

The energy of the capacitor, E is given by;

$E = \frac{1}{2}C_{eq}V^{2}$

$E = \frac{1}{2}\times 6.0\times 10^{- 6}\times 300^{2} = 0.27 J$
