Answer:

The Ic will be zero.

Explanation:

Capacitors have a working principal as follows:

  • As the current flows through the circuit, they store the electrical energy according to certain attributes they have such as the area of the plates and the material's capacitence in between the plates.

An AC voltage increases and decreases between certain maximum and minimum points periodically. So while the AC voltage is on the positive side, the capacitor charges up and when the AC voltage crosses to the negative side, the capacitor takes over and it's current starts increasing as the current coming from the AC source decreases.

So in this case, as the AC voltage crosses zero, the capacitor current was decreasing because the AC voltage was on the positive side and it was charging. The capacitor current will be zero as well and it will start to increase when AC voltage is on the negative.

I hope this answer helps.

A light bulb whose resistance is 240 ohms is connected to a 120 voltage source. What is the current through the bulb?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.5A

Explanation:

Using R = \frac{V}{I},

R is the resistance (in Ohms)

V is the voltage (in V)

I is the current (in A)

240=\frac{120}{I}

I = 0.5A

A bowling ball accidentally falls out of the cargo bay of an airliner as it flies along in a horizontal direction. As seen from
valina [46]

The path the bowling ball would most closely follow after leaving the airplane is horizontal direction.

<h3>Path of the bowling ball</h3>

Based on the law of inertia, which is the reluctance of an object to stop moving once in motion or start moving when it is at rest.

The bowling ball will maintain the path of the airline in the first few seconds of fall, after which it will change its path to vertical direction.

Thus, the path the bowling ball would most closely follow after leaving the airplane is horizontal direction.

A team exerts a force of 10 N towards the south in a tug of war. The other, opposite team, exerts a force of 17 N towards the no
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

According to the question:

Force exerted by the team towards south, F = 10 N

Force exerted by the opposite team towards North, F' = 17 N

Net Force, \vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F}

\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F} = 17 - 10 = 7 N

Thus the force will be along the direction of force whose magnitude is higher

Therefore,

\vec{F_{net}} = 7 N towards North
