A circuit contains a resistor in series with a capacitor, the series combination being connected across the terminals of a batte

ry. The time constant for charging the capacitor is 4.6 s when the resistor has a resistance of 1.4 x 104 Ω. What would the time constant be if the resistance had a value of 5.6 x 104 Ω?

Answer:

18.4 s

Explanation:

The time constant of an RC circuit is given by

\tau = RC

where

R is the resistance

C is the capacitance

For the first circuit we have

\tau = 4.6 s

R=1.4\cdot 10^4 \Omega

So we can find the capacitance

C=\frac{\tau}{R}=\frac{4.6 s}{1.4\cdot 10^4 \Omega}=3.29\cdot 10^{-4} F

Now in the second circuit, the new resistance is

R=5.6\cdot 10^4 \Omega

So the new time constant will be

\tau = RC=(5.6\cdot 10^4 \Omega )(3.29\cdot 10^{-4} F)=18.4 s

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

I=1.48 A

Explanation:

Given that

B=3.1 x 10⁻5 T

b= 4.2 cm

l= 9.5 cm

The relationship for magnetic field  and current given as

B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D

Where

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}

By putting the values

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{0.042^2+0.095^2}}{0.042\times 0.095}

D=26.03 m⁻¹

B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D

3.1\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{2\times 4\times \pi \times 10^{-7} I}{\pi}\times 26.03

I=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-5}}{{2\times 4\times 10^{-7} }\times 26.03}

I=1.48 A

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, 1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}

1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, 1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts

and 88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.
