Answer:

The  current in the tube is 0.601 A

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the fluorescent, d = 3 cm

negative charge flowing in the fluorescent tube, -e = 3 x 10¹⁸ electrons/second

positive charge flowing in the fluorescent tube, +e = 0.75 x 10¹⁸ electrons/ second

The current in the fluorescent tube is due to presence of positive and negative charges to create neutrality in the conductor (fluorescent tube).

Q = It

I = Q/t

where;

I is current in Ampere (A)

Q is charge in Coulombs (C)

t is time is seconds (s)

1 e = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

3 x 10¹⁸ e/ s = ?

= (3 x 10¹⁸ e/s  x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C) / 1e

= 0.4806 C/s

negative charge per second (Q/t) = 0.4806 C/s

positive charge per second (Q/t) =  (0.75 x 10¹⁸ e/s  x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C) / 1e

positive charge per second (Q/t) = 0.12015 C/s

Total charge per second in the tube, Q / t = (0.4806 C/s + 0.12015 C/s)

                                                                I = 0.601 A

Therefore, the  current in the tube is 0.601 A

Natali [406]

Answer:

the new volume =93,750 Liters

Explanation:

From Boyles law

P1V1 = P2V2

1.2 X 125000 = 1.6 X V2

V2 = 93,750 Liters

Explain how the planets in the solar system formed
Fed [463]
<span>So we want to know how did the planets form in the Solar system. So the current most accepted explanation is accretion. First the Sun formed, and what has left was a disk made out of gas and dust which later formed the planets trough attractive gravitational force.</span>

An ideal parallel - plate capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C
