A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor that has a very small capacitance. what can we say about

the capacitance of the series combination? question 1 options:
a.it is slightly smaller than the capacitance of the large capacitor.

b.it is slightly larger than the capacitance of the small capacitor.

c.it is slightly smaller than the capacitance of the small capacitor.

d.it is impossible to say anything about the equivalent series capacitance without knowing the actual numeric values of the individual capacitors in the combination.

e.it is slightly larger than the capacitance of the large capacitor.

<span>A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor
that has a very small capacitance.

The capacitance of the series combination is slightly smaller than the
capacitance of the small capacitor. (choice-C)

The capacitance of a series combination is

             1 / (1/A + 1/B + 1/C + 1/D + .....) .

If you wisk, fold, knead, and mash that expression for a while,
you find that for only two capacitors in series, (or 2 resistors or
two inductors in parallel), the combination is   

             (product of the 2 individuals) / (sum of the individuals)  .

In this problem, we have a humongous one and a tiny one.
Let's call them  1000  and  1 .
Then the series combination is

           (1000 x 1) / (1000 + 1)

        =       (1000) / (1001)

        =         0.999 000 999 . . . 

which is smaller than the smaller individual.

It'll always be that way.   </span>

How would you describe brass since it ia used in weapons, pipes, intruments and ect? A compound, Alloy, Element l, Or molecule?
Alik [6]
<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.</span>

<u>Option b. </u>A smaller magnitude of momentum and more kinetic energy.

<h3>What is a momentum?</h3>
  • In Newtonian physics, an object's linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.
  • It has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity. The object's momentum, p, is defined as: p=mv if m is the object's mass and v is its velocity (also a vector quantity).
  • The kilogram metre per second (kg m/s), or newton-second in the International System of Units (SI), is the unit used to measure momentum.
  • The rate of change of a body's momentum is equal to the net force exerted on it, according to Newton's second law of motion.

To know more about momentum, refer:
