A wave is propagated by a point or a particle in a medium that vibrates or oscillates between its mean position and a maximum displacement position.

<u>Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the mean position.</u>

Due to the vibration of the particle, neighbouring particles get disturbed and they also oscillate but some small time (phase) behind.

Along the direction of propagation of the wave, the wave travels a wavelength distance in the same time that is taken by a particle to complete one oscillation.
It is the<u> distance between two successive crests (</u>maximum displacement positions - When a snap shot of wave is taken at one point of time.

Wavelength - the distance from one wave crest or trough to another wave crest or trough. Amplitude - the distance from the median point or "middle" of the wave straight up to a crest (a maximum) or straight down to a trough (or minimum), which is the peak amplitude; or the distance from a trough straight up to a crest, or a crest straight down to a trough, called peak-to-peak amplitude.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a) \Phi_{net} = 0\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}, b) \Phi_{right} = -31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}, c) \Phi_{left} = 31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

Explanation:

a) The net flux through the cube is:

\Phi_{net}=-(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}+(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}

\Phi_{net} = 0\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

b) The flux through the right face is:

\Phi_{right}=-(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}

\Phi_{right} = -31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

c) The flux through the left face is:

\Phi_{left}=(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}

\Phi_{left} = 31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

A particular 12 V car battery can send a total charge of 110 A·h (ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the othe
DiKsa [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)

Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;

=> Q = 110A·h

=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h          [1 hour = 3600 seconds]

=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s

=> Q = 396000A·s

=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C

Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;

E = Q x V           -----------------(i)

Where;

Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C

V = electric potential = 12V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12

E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J

E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J

ivann1987 [24]
<span>It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.
