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>

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

What does a curved gradient line in a distance-time graph represent?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

If the line is curved, the slope is changing, which also means the velocity is changing. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The more the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.
