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.

<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>

natima [27]
I think the correct answer would be D. The tap water in the experiment is one the three test conditions of the independent variable, the type of water. The independent variable in a experiment is the one being manipulated or the one being changed. In this case, it is the type of water.

a radio station broadcast a frequency 90500 Hz. these radio waves travel at speed of 30000 m/s. what is the wavelength of the ra
Feliz [49]

Answer:

0.331m

Explanation:

wave equation: v=f λ

v=30000m/s

f=90500 Hz

λ= \frac{v}{f}

λ= \frac{30000}{90500}

λ= 0.311m

Explains this: a light source can emit more than one type of light
Radda [10]

Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum comprise a lot of waves length. Usually, different waves length are called as different lights, and a light source can emit in more than a different wave length, as the sun does, for example. The sun emit the visible light, UV light, infrared, etc.

2) A car travels 5 miles north, and then 10 miles south. What is the person's DISTANCE and
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

distance traveled is 15 mi

displacement is 5 mi

Explanation:

Distance takes time into account and adds up all the tiny displacements during the entire period of the trip.

Displacement ignores time and looks only at the change in position from the starting point to the ending point.
