When this current is closed which way does the current flow

Physics

Anastaziya [24]3 years ago

Well, Godess, that's not a simple question, and it doesn't have
a simple answer.

When the switch is closed . . .

"Conventional current" flows out of the ' + ' of the battery, through R₁ ,
then through R₂ , then through R₃ .  It piles up on the right-hand side of
the capacitor (C).  It repels the ' + ' charges on the left side of 'C', and
those flow into the ' - ' side of the battery.  So the flow of current through
this series circuit is completely clockwise, around toward the right. 

That's the way the first experimenters pictured it, that's the way we still
handle it on paper, and that's the way our ammeters display it.

BUT . . .

About 100 years after we thought that we completely understand electricity,
we discovered that the little tiny things that really move through a wire, and
really carry the electric charge, are the electrons, and they carry NEGATIVE
charge.  This turned our whole picture upside down.

But we never changed the picture !  We still do all of our work in terms of
'conventional current'.  But the PHYSICAL current ... the actual motion of
charge in the wire ... is all exactly the other way around.

In your drawing ... When the switch is closed, electrons flow out of the 
' - ' terminal on the bottom of the battery, and pile up on the left plate of
the 'C'.  They repel electrons off of the right-side of 'C', and those then
flow through R₃ , then through R₂ , then through R₁ , and finally into the
' + ' terminal on top of the battery.

Those are the directions of 'conventional' current and 'physical' current
in all circuits.

In the circuit of YOUR picture that you attached, there's more to the story:

Battery current can't flow through a capacitor.  Current flows only until
charges are piled up on the two sides of 'C' facing each other, and then
it stops.

Wait a few seconds after you close the switch in the picture, and there is
no longer any current in the loop.

To be very specific and technical about it . . .

-- The instant you close the switch, the current is

       (battery voltage) / (R₁ + R₂ + R₃)        amperes

but it immediately starts to decrease.

--  Every  (C)/((R₁ + R₂ + R₃)  seconds after that, the current is

                  e⁻¹  =  about  36.8 %

less than it was that same amount of time ago.

Now, are you glad you asked ?

Ok, SO my family runs a Dog Day Care. ( littlecanineclubhouse.com if you need proof.)

And what i have found it that it really depends on the type of dog it is.

Such as a PUG, they can live anywhere between 15 to 20 years.
A Boston Bull Terrier can live up to about 10 to 15 years.
A French Bull dog can live anywhere up to 10 to 12 years.
A golden Retriever can live up to 10 to 12 years. 
ETC. 

SO it really depends on the dog.

An automobile rounds a curve of radius 50.0 m on a flat road.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of the curve  = 50m

Centripetal acceleration  = 3.92m/s²

Unknown:

Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.

 It is given as;

      a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}  

a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius

  Now insert the parameters and find v;

         v²   = ar

        v² = 3.92 x 50  = 196

         v  = √196 = 14m/s

Hope it helped you.

A. Acceleration is a wrong answer. Acceleration is the rate of change to in velocity. It involves a change in speed and direction. 

B.  Force is a wrong answer. Force is a directions from push/or pull.

C. Inertia is a correct. Inertia is a tendency of an object to stay at the rest or preserve its state of motion.

D. Velocity is a incorrect answer. Velocity is the placement of an object during a specific unit of time. It has two measurements are needed to determine velocity.

Which formula represents final velocity of an object with average acceleration?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The equation v – = v 0 + v 2 v – = v 0 + v 2 is reflects the fact that when acceleration is constant, v – is just the simple average of the initial and final velocities.

Explanation:

hope this is it
