A 20.0 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 800 V. The terminals of the charged capacitor are then connected to

those of an uncharged 10.0 µF capacitor. Compute (a) the original charge of the system, (b) the final potential difference across each capacitor, (c) the final energy of the system, and (d) the decrease in energy when the capacitors are connected.

Answer:

a) Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b) V_1 = V_2 =  (16/3) * 10^2 V

c)  E = 64/15 J

d)  dE = 32/15 J of decrease

Explanation:

Given:

- Capacitor 1, C_1 = 20.0 uF

- Capacitor 2, C_2 = 10.0 uF

- Charged with P.d V = 800 V

Find:

a) the original charge of the system,

(b) the final potential difference across each capacitor

(c) the final energy of the system

(d) the decrease in energy when the capacitors are connected.

Solution:

a)

- The initial charge in the circuit is the one carried by the first charged capacitor.

                           Q_initial = C_1*V

                           Q_initial = 20*10^-6 * 800

                           Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b)

- After charging the other capacitor, we know that the total charge is conserved among two capacitor:

                          Q_initial = Q_1 + Q_2

- We also know that potential difference across two capacitor is also same.

                          V_1 = V_2 = Q_1 / C_1 = Q_2 / C_2

- Using the two equations and solve for charge Q_2:

                          Q_2 = Q_1*C_2/C_1

                          Q_2 = Q_1*10/20 = 0.5*Q_1

- using conservation of charge:

                          Q_initial = 1.5*Q_1

                          Q_1 = 16*10^-3 / 1.5 = 10.67*10^-3 C

- Hence the Voltage across each capacitor is:

                          V_2 = V_1 = Q_1 / C_1  

                                            = 10.67*10^-3 / 20*10^-6

                                            = (16/3) * 10^2 V

c)

- The energy in the system is:

                          E = 0.5*C_eq*V^2

Where, C_eq is the equivalent capacitance of paralle circuit.

                           E = 0.5*(20+10)*10^-6 *((16/3) * 10^2)^2

                          E = 64/15 J

d)

- The decrease in energy of the capacitors is:

                           dE = E_initial - E_final

Where, E_initial is due to charging of the C_1 only:

                          dE = 0.5*10^-6*20*800^2 - (64/15)

                          dE = 32/5 - 64/15 = 32/15 J

python Given num_rows and num_cols, print a list of all seats in a theater. Rows are numbered, columns lettered, as in 1A or 3E.
MissTica

Explanation:

First of all get the input from the user, number of rows and number of columns where rows represents seat digit number and column represents the seat letter

rows is initialized to 1 to ensure that row starts at 1 or you can remove it then seat number will start from 0.

The first loop is used for digits starting from 1 to number of rows

The second loop is used for letters starting from 1 to number of columns

since rows and cols are not of the same type that's why we are converting the int type to string type

print(str(rows)+cols) counter will keep updating the columns A, B, C.....

rows= rows + 1 counter will keep updating the rows 1, 2, 3....

Code:

Please refer to the attached image.

Output:

Please enter the number of rows: 2

Please enter the number of columns: 3

1A

1B

1C

2A

2B

natulia [17]

Answer:

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

Explanation:

given data

area = 3 ft by 3 ft

air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³

to find out

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor

solution

we know that energy balance equation that is express as

E in - E out  = \frac{dE \ system}{dt}    ......................1

and at steady state  \frac{dE \ system}{dt} = 0

so we can say from equation 1

E in = E out

so

minimum power required is

E in = W = m \frac{V^2}{2} = \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

put here value

E in =  \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

E in =  0.075 *3*3* 22 \frac{22^2}{2}  

E in = 0.1437 Btu/s

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s
