Answer:

(a). The time constant of the circuit is 2.17.

(b). The potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s is 0.0396 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial potential difference = 100 V

Potential difference across the capacitor = 1.00 V

(a). We need to calculate the time constant of the circuit

Using formula of potential difference

V(t)=V_{0}e^{\dfrac{-t}{RC}}

Put the value into the formula

1.00=100e^{\dfrac{-10.0}{RC}}

0.01=e^{\dfrac{-10.0}{RC}}

On taking ln

ln(0.01)=\dfrac{-10}{RC}

RC=\dfrac{-10}{ln(0.01)}

RC=2.17

(b). We need to calculate the potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s

Using formula again

V(17)=100e^{\dfrac{-17}{2.17}}

V{17}=0.0396\ V

Hence, (a). The time constant of the circuit is 2.17.

(b). The potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s is 0.0396 V.

À A car moves with an initial velocity of 18 m/s due north. Find the velocity of the car after 7 Os if
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

(a) v_f=28.5m/s

(b) v_f=7.5m/s

Explanation:

Hello.

(a) In this case since the car is moving at an initial velocity of 18 m/s due north, the final velocity is computed considering the acceleration as positive since it is due north as well:

v_f=v_0+at=18m/s+1.5m/s^2*7s\\\\v_f=28.5m/s

(b) In this case, since the car is moving due north by the acceleration is due south it is undergoing a slowing down process, thereby the acceleration is negative therefore the final velocity turns out:

v_f=v_0+at=18m/s-1.5m/s^2*7s\\\\v_f=7.5m/s

Best regards.

A straight wire of length 0.53 m carries a conventional current of 0.2 amperes. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field made
olga55 [171]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of wire, l = 0.53 m

Current, I = 0.2 A

(1.) Approximate formula:

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic field made by the current at a location 2.0 cm from the wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

The formula for magnetic field at some distance from the wire is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 0.2\ A}{2\pi \times 0.02\ m}

B = 0.000002 T

B=10^{-5}\ T

(2) Exact formula:

B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}\dfrac{l}{\sqrt{l^2+4r^2} }

B=\dfrac{\mu_o\times 0.2\ A}{2\pi \times 0.02\ m}\times \dfrac{0.53\ m}{\sqrt{(0.53\ m)^2+4(0.02\ m)^2} }

B = 0.00000199 T

or

B = 0.000002 T

Hence, this is the required solution.
