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

13. Write a function which is passed two strings. The function creates a new string from the two original strings by copying one
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

I am writing the code in C++. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.

#include <iostream>  // includes header file for input output functions

using namespace std;     //to identify objects like cin cout

string CopyStrings(string string1, string string2)  

{   string newString = "";    

   for (int loop = 0; loop < string1.length() ||  

                   loop < string2.length(); loop++)      {      

       if (loop < string1.length())  

           newString += string1[loop];          

       if (loop < string2.length())  

           newString += string2[loop];      }  

   return newString;   }  

int main()  

{   string stringA = "ace";  

   string stringB = "bdf";  

   cout << CopyStrings(stringA, stringB);   }

Output:

abcdef

Explanation:

The function CopyStrings() function takes two strings i.e. string1 and string2 as parameters to copy characters from both the string one character from each.

The newString variable stores the new string after copying characters from both strings string1 and string2.

Then the for loop starts which has a variable loop which is an index variable that traverses through both the strings stored in string1 and string2. The loop continues to execute until it moves through entire length of string1 and string2 which means it copies all the characters from both string1 and string2. length() is used here which returns length of the string1 and string2.

If statement in the for loop checks the character that loop (index) variable is pointing to is less than the string1 length which means it checks each character stored in string1. For example if string1 contains "ace" and loop variable is moving through the string and is currently at "a" then this condition is true. If the condition evaluates to true then the body of if statement is executed. The next statement stores that character a into the newString variable.

Next If statement checks character that loop variable is pointing to is less than the string2 length which means it checks each character stored in string2. For example if string2 contains "bdf" and loop variable is moving through the string and is currently at "b" then this condition is true. If the condition evaluates to true then the body of if statement is executed. The next statement stores that character b into the newString variable.

Then the second iteration starts which again first stores the next character i.e. c from string1 into newString and then stores next character i.e d from string2 into newString.

Then the third iteration starts which again first stores the next character i.e. e from string1 into newString and then stores next character i.e f from string2 into newString.

Then the loop breaks as the loop variable reaches end of both the string1 and string2.

return newString will return the copied string into the output screen which is abcdef.

The screenshot of code along with output is attached.

It is not a practical proposition to take direct measurements in nanoscale, but we can estimate variations in position and momen
Volgvan

Answer:

Answer is c Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle there is always an inherent uncertainty in measuring the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously.

Mathematically

\Delta x\times \Delta \overrightarrow{p}\geq \frac{h}{4\pi }

here 'h' is planck's constant

A 11.5 nC charge is at x = 0cm and a -1.2 nC charge is at x = 3 cm ..At what position or positions on the x-axis is the electric
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

q_1=11.5\ nC charge is placed at x=0\ cm

another charge of q_2=-1.2\ nC is at x=3\ cm

We know that Electric field due to positive charge is away  from it and Electric field due to negative charge is towards it.

so net electric field is zero somewhere beyond negatively charged particle

Electric Field due to q_2 at some distance r from it

E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}

Now Electric Field due to q_1 is

E_1=\frac{kq_1}{(3+r)^2}

Now E_1+E_2=0

\frac{k\times 11.5}{(r+3)^2}\frac{k\times (-1.2)}{r^2}=0

\frac{3+r}{r}=(\frac{11.5}{1.2})^{0.5}

\frac{3+r}{r}=3.095

thus r=1.43\ cm

Thus Electric field is zero at some distance r=1.43 cm right of q_2
