Answer:

I₀ = 0.2 mA

Explanation:

  • Just after being connected, as the voltage between plates of a capacitor can't change instantanously, the initial voltage through the capacitor must be zero, so it presents like a short to the battery.
  • So, in these circumstances, as the battery only "sees"a resistor, the initial current can be found applying Ohm's law to the resistor, as follows:

        V = I_{0}*R \\\\   I_{0}  = \frac{V}{R}  = \frac{1.50V}{7.71e3\Omega} = 0.2 mA

  • The initial current (that will be diminishing as the capacitor charges), is 0.2 mA.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.19mA

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given;

Capacitor of capacitance = 4.07 μF

Resistor of resistance = 7.71 kΩ = 7.71 x 1000Ω  = 7710Ω

Voltage = 1.50V

Since the capacitor is initially uncharged, it behaves like a short circuit. Therefore, the only element drawing current at that instant is the resistor.  This means that the initial current in the circuit is the one due to (flowing through) the resistor.

And since there is negligible internal resistance, the emf of the battery is equal to the voltage supplied by the battery and is used to supply current to the resistor. Therefore, according to Ohm's law;

V = I x R           ---------------(i)

Where;

V = voltage supplied or the emf

I = current through the resistor

R = resistance of the resistor

Substitute the values of V and R into equation (i) as follows;

1.50 = I x 7710

I = \frac{1.5}{7710}

I = 0.00019A

Multiply the result by 1000 to convert it to milliamperes as follows;

0.00019 x 1000 mA = 0.19mA

Therefore, the initial current in the circuit, expressed in milliamperes is 0.19

HELP PLS!!!! Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is th
maw [93]

You've already told us the speed in ft/s .  It's right there in the question.  You said that light travels about  982,080,000 ft/s.

We don't know how accurate that number is, but for purposes of THIS question, that's the number we're going with.

In scientific notation, it's written . . . <em>9.8208 x 10⁸ ft/s .</em>

We don't know where you were going with the number of seconds in a year.  But to answer the question that you eventually asked, it turned out that we don't even need it.

A solid concrete block weighs 150. N and is resting on the ground. Its dimensions are 0.400 m ✕ 0.200 m ✕ 0.100 m. A number of i
N76 [4]

Answer:

27 blocks

Explanation:

First, the expression to use here is the following:

P = F/A

Where:

P: pressure

F: Force exerted

A: Area of the block.

Now , we need to know the number of blocks needed to exert a pressure that equals at least 2 atm. To know this, we should rewrite the equation. We know that certain number of blocks, with the same weight and dimensions are putting one after one over the first block, so we can say that:

P = W/A

P = n * W1 / A

n would be the number of blocks, and W1 the weight of the block.We have all the data, and we need to calculate the area of the block which is:

A = 0.2 * 0.1 = 0.02 m²

Solving now for n:

n = P * A / W1

The pressure has to be expressed in N/m²

P = 2 atm * 1.01x10^5 N/m² atm = 2.02x10^5 N/m²

Finally, replacing all data we have:

n = 2.02x10^5 * 0.02 / 150

n = 26.93

We can round this result to 27. So the minimum number of blocks is 27.
