The time constant for the discharge of a capacitor in a RC circuit is given by
\tau = RC
where R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit and C is the capacitance of the capacitor. The time constant corresponds to the time after which the charge on the capacitor has reduced to e^{-1} \sim 36\% of the initial charge on the capacitor.

Since it is a time, the units of the time constant are seconds:
[\tau]=[s]

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

Aluminium has the least resistance since It has 3 free electrons per atom. Its resistivity is low compared to other metals provided in the choices (gold, nichrome, tungsten). Low resistivity of metals means a high conductance of the metal referred to.

56. What is the range of magnitudes that can be attained from the
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the magnitude of the forces, 7N and 2N, the minimum combining force acting on the forces are when the force's is acting in opposite direction.

Magnitude of the force in opposite direction is 7N - 5N = 2N

The maximum combining force occurs when they act in the same direction. Magnitude of the force in the same direction is 5N+7N = 12N

Hence the range of magnitude requires is 2N≤F≤12N

How does the force of gravity exerted
givi [52]

The two forces of gravity are equal

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the Sun as object A and the Earth as object B. This means that the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on the Earth is the action, while the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the Sun is the reaction: according to Newton's third law, these two forces are equal and opposite.

Therefore, the two forces of gravity are equal in magnitude, which is given by:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the Earth

r is the separation between the Earth and the Sun
