Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}$

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

$m=\dfrac{-v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}$

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.

Why are carbon brushes used? How do these work?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Why are they used:

A carbon brush is a sliding contact used to transmit electrical current from a static to a rotating part in a motor or generator, and, as regards DC machines, ensuring a spark-free commutation.

Two fully charged cylindrical capacitors are connected to two identical batteries. The capacitors are identical except that the

Leni [432]

Answer:

Part(a): The relative capacitance is $\dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = 0.33$

Part(b): The relative energy stored is $\dfrac{U_{A}}{U_{B}} = 0.33$

Part(c): The relative charge stored is $\dfrac{Q_{A}}{Q_{B}} = 0.33$

Explanation:

We know the capacitance ( $C$ ) of a capacitor having charge ( $Q$ ) and subjected to a potential difference of ( $V$ ) is given by

$C = \dfrac{Q}{V}$

Also, the energy ( $U$ ) stored by a capacitor can be written as

$U = \dfrac{1}{2}C~V^{2}$

Let us assume that the inner radius of the Capacitor B, as shown in the figure, be $\textbf{r_{i}^{B}}$ $\bf{r_{i}^{B}}$ , the outer radius be $\bf{r_{o}^{B}}$ , the inner radius of Capacitor A be $\bf{r_{i}^{A}}$ and the outer radius be $\bf{r_{o}^{B}}$ .

Given in the problem,

$&& r_{o}^{B} = 2~r_{B}^{i}\\&& r_{o}^{A} = 4~r_{B}^{i}\\&& and~r_{i}^{B} = 4~r_{o}^{B} = 8~r_{B}^{i}$

Now, the capacitance ( $C$ ) of a cylindrical capacitor is given by,

$\bf{C = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}~L}{ln(\dfrac{r_{o}}{r_{i}})}}$

where $\epsilon_{o}$ is the permittivity of the free space, $L$ is the length of the cylindrical capacitor.

Part(a):

The capacitance of capacitor A,

$C_{A} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{r_{o}^{A}}{r_{i}^{A}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{8~r_{i}^{B}}{r_{i}^{B}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(8)}$

and the capacitance of capacitor B,

$C_{B} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{r_{o}^{B}}{r_{i}^{B}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{2~r_{i}^{B}}{r_{i}^{B}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(2)}$

giving the relative capacitance of each capacitor to be

$\dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = \dfrac{ln(2)}{ln(8)} = \dfrac{ln(2)}{3~\ln(2)} = \dfrac{1}{3} = 0.33$

Part(b):

Energy stored by capacitor A,

$U_{A} = \dfrac{1}{2}~C_{A}~V^{2}$

Energy stored by capacitor B,

$U_{B} = \dfrac{1}{2}~C_{B}~V^{2}$

giving the relative energy stored by each capacitor to be

$\dfrac{U_{A}}{U_{B}} = \dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = 0.33$

Part(c):

The charge stored by capacitor A,

$Q_{A} = C_{A}~V$

The charge stored by capacitor B,

$Q_{B} = C_{B}~V$

giving the relative charge stored by each capacitor to be

$\dfrac{Q_{A}}{Q_{B}} = \dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = 0.33$

A wave is produced in a rope. The wave has a speed of 33 m/s and a frequency of 22 Hz. What wavelength is produced? 0. 67 m 0. 7

vekshin1

Answer:

Wavelength = <u>1.5 m</u>

Explanation:

The formula for waves in terms of wavelength, speed and frequency is:

Speed (v) = Frequency (f) × Wavelength (λ)

33 = 22 × λ

33 = 22λ

λ = $\frac{33}{22}$

So, λ = 1.5 m
