The answer is C. An oxygen atom in heavy water has an extra neutron.

I say this because heavy water is also water, but it contains a higher proportion of the hydrogen isotope – deuterium. Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom makes a water molecule. Deuterium is very much the same as that of normal hydrogen, but contains an extra neutron.

So therefore, the answer is C.

It's
$c) \\$
normal water has only one proton while heavy water (deuterium oxide) has a proton and a neutron

An uncharged series RC circuit is to be connected across a battery. For each of the following changes, determine whether the tim

slavikrds [6]

a) Increase

b) Unchanged

c) Increase

Explanation:

The charge on a capacitor charging in a RC circuit connected to a battery follows the exponential equation:

$Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})$

where

$Q_0 = CV$ is the final charge stored in the capacitor, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage of the battery

t is the time

R is the resistance of the circuit

The capacitor reaches 90% of its final charge when

$Q(t)=0.90Q_0$

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find:

$0.90Q_0 = Q_0(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})\\0.90=1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}\\e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}=0.10\\-\frac{t}{RC}=ln(0.10)\\t=-RCln(0.10)=2.30RC$

We see that if we double the RC constant, then $(RC)'=2(RC)$

So the time taken will double as well:

$t'=2.30(RC)'=2.30(2RC)=2(2.30RC)=2t$

So, the answer is "increase"

In this second part, the battery voltage is doubled.

According to the equation written in part a),

$Q_0 =CV$

this means also that the final charge stored on the capacitor will also double.

However, the equation that gives us the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its full charge is

$t=2.30 RC$

We see that this equation does not depend at all on the voltage of the battery.

Therefore, if the battery voltage is doubled, the final charge on the capacitor will double as well, but the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its charge will not change.

So the correct answer is

"unchanged"

In this case, a second resistor is added in series with the original resistor of the circuit.

We know that for two resistors in series, the total resistance of the circuit is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

$R=R_1+R_2$

Since each resistance is a positive value, this means that as we add new resistors, the total resistance of the circuit increases.

Therefore in this problem, if we add a resistor in series to the original circuit, this means that the total resistance of the circuit will increase.

The time taken for the capacitor to reach 90% of its final charge is still

$t=2.30 RC$

As we can see, this time is directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit, R: therefore, if we add a resistor in series, the resistance of the circuit will increase, and therefore this time will increase as well.

So the correct answer is

"increase"

A circular loop of wire of area 10 cm^2 carries a current of 25 A. At a particular instant, the loop lies in the xy-plane and is

S_A_V [24]

The magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is 0.025 Am².

The magnetic torque on the loop is 2.5 x 10⁻⁴ Nm.

<h3>What is magnetic dipole moment?</h3>

The magnetic dipole moment of an object, is the measure of the object's tendency to align with a magnetic field.

Mathematically, magnetic dipole moment is given as;

μ = NIA

where;

N is number of turns of the loop
A is the area of the loop
I is the current flowing in the loop

μ = (1) x (25 A) x (0.001 m²)

μ = 0.025 Am²

The magnetic torque on the loop is calculated as follows;

τ = μB

where;

B is magnetic field strength

B = √(0.002² + 0.006² + 0.008²)

B = 0.01 T

τ = μB

τ = 0.025 Am² x 0.01 T

τ = 2.5 x 10⁻⁴ Nm

Thus, the magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is determined from the current and area of the loop while the magnetic torque on the loop is determined from the magnetic dipole moment.
