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

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16
Bad White [126]

Answer:

the net work per cycle \mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}  Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, W = 88.0144746 hp

Explanation:

the information given includes;

diameter of the four-cylinder bore = 3.7 in

length of the stroke = 3.4 in

The clearance volume = 16% = 0.16

The cylindrical volume V_2 = 0.16 V_1

the crankshaft N rotates at a speed of  2400 RPM.

At the beginning of the compression , temperature T_1 = 60 F = 519.67 R    

and;

Otto cycle with a pressure =  14.5 lbf/in² = (14.5 × 144 ) lb/ft²

= 2088 lb/ft²

The maximum temperature in the cycle is 5200 R

From the given information; the change in volume is:

V_1-V_2 = \dfrac{\pi}{4}D^2L

V_1-0.16V_1= \dfrac{\pi}{4}(3.7)^2(3.4)

V_1-0.16V_1= 36.55714291

0.84 V_1 =36.55714291

V_1 =\dfrac{36.55714291}{0.84 }

V_1 =43.52040823 \ in^3 \\ \\  V_1 = 43.52 \ in^3

V_1 = 0.02518 \ ft^3

the mass in air ( lb) can be determined by using the formula:

m = \dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT}

where;

R = 53.3533 ft.lbf/lb.R°

m = \dfrac{2088 \ lb/ft^2 \times 0.02518 \ ft^3}{53.3533 \ ft .lbf/lb.^0R  \times 519 .67 ^0 R}

m = 0.0018962 lb

From the tables  of ideal gas properties at Temperature 519.67 R

v_{r1} =158.58

u_1 = 88.62 Btu/lb

At state of volume 2; the relative volume can be determined as:

v_{r2} = v_{r1}  \times \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

v_{r2} = 158.58 \times 0.16

v_{r2} = 25.3728

The specific energy u_2 at v_{r2} = 25.3728 is 184.7 Btu/lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at maximum Temperature T = 5200 R

v_{r3} = 0.1828

u_3 = 1098 \ Btu/lb

To determine the relative volume at state 4; we have:

v_{r4} = v_{r3} \times \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}

v_{r4} =0.1828 \times \dfrac{1}{0.16}

v_{r4} =1.1425

The specific energy u_4 at v_{r4} =1.1425 is 591.84 Btu/lb

Now; the net work per cycle can now be calculated as by using the following formula:

W_{net} = Heat  \ supplied - Heat  \ rejected

W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2)-m(u_4 - u_1)

W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2- u_4 + u_1)

W_{net} = m(1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)

W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)

W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (410.08)

\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}  Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, in horsepower. can be calculated as follows;

In the  four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine; the power developed by the engine can be calculated by using the expression:

W = 4 \times N'  \times W_{net

where ;

N' = \dfrac{2400}{2}

N' = 1200 cycles/min

N' = 1200 cycles/60 seconds

N' = 20 cycles/sec

W = 4 × 20 cycles/sec ×  0.777593696

W = 62.20749568 Btu/s

W = 88.0144746 hp

Electric current originates from which part of an atom? *
yanalaym [24]

Answer: Electric current originates from positively charged protons negatively charged electrons of an atom.

Explanation:

The movement of ions (positive or negative) from one point to another is called electric current.

An atom has three sub-atomic particles. These are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged. Protons and neutrons reside inside the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

So, protons and electrons are responsible for originating electric current form an atom as these are the charged particles.

Thus, we can conclude that electric current originates from positively charged protons negatively charged electrons of an atom.
