Answer:
As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing
Explanation:
Lets take
C= Capacitance
L=Inductance
V=Voltage
I= Current
The total energy E given as
We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL² will increases.
It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.
As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing
Answer:
1) thinner, diverge
2) thicker, converge
Explanation:
i got it right
(a)
The total mechanical energy of the space probe must be constant, so we can write:
(1)
where
is the kinetic energy at the surface, when the probe is launched
is the gravitational potential energy at the surface
is the final kinetic energy of the probe
is the final gravitational potential energy
Here we have
at the surface, (radius of the planet),
(mass of the planet) and m=10 kg (mass of the probe), so the initial gravitational potential energy is
At the final point, the distance of the probe from the centre of Zero is
so the final potential energy is
So now we can use eq.(1) to find the final kinetic energy:
(b)
The probe reaches a maximum distance of
which means that at that point, the kinetic energy is zero: (the probe speed has become zero):
At that point, the gravitational potential energy is
So now we can use eq.(1) to find the initial kinetic energy:
