Answer:

The equivalent capacitance will be $15\mu F$

Explanation:

We have given two capacitance $C_=10\mu F\ and\ C_2=20\mu F$

They are connected in parallel

So equivalent capacitance $C=C_1+C_2=10+20=30\mu F$

This equivalent capacitance is now connected in series with $30\mu F$

In series combination of capacitors the equivalent capacitance is given by $\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{30}$

$C=\frac{30}{2}=15\mu F$

So the equivalent capacitance will be $15\mu F$

choli [55]

Biot-Savart Law - Magnetic field around a straight conductor carrying a current I.

B = μ_0 I/2πr

where:
B is strength of magnetic field in T.
μ_0 is permeability of free space = 1.25664 x 10^ -6 T-m/A.
I is current in A.
r is distance from conductor in m.

While watching a planet orbiting a star, you notice that the doppler shift in the light of the star is becoming increasingly blu

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The star must be moving "closer" to the earth because the wave fronts that are being emitted are shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum (they are closer together)

Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm.

8_murik_8 [283]

The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}$

1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is $\sqrt2 L/2 = 0.035m$

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} = 0$

The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.

2) $V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

$r_1 = 0.05\sqrt2m\\r_2 = 0.05m$

$V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05\sqrt2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.05}\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05} (\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-1)\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (4\times 10^{-5})(-0.29)\\V_b = (-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})[tex]3) The work done on q3 by q1 and q2 is equal to the difference between energies. This is the work-energy theorem. So,[tex]W = U_b - U_a$
