Answer:

I = 0.625 Amp

Explanation:

Given:-

- The capacitance of the capacitor, C = 1.50 uF

- The capacitor charges through a resistance, R = 12.0 ohms

- The potential difference of battery, V = 10.0 V

Find:-

What will be the current when the capacitor has acquired 1/4 of its maximum charge?

Solution:-

- Note that the charge is increasing with time while the current across the capacitor decreases. But both obey the exponential equations.

- The charge (Q) obeys the equation:

                             Q = Q_max* ( 1 - e^(-t/RC))

- While the current I obeys the relationship:

                             I = I_max* ( e^(-t/RC) )

- When the charge hs taken 1/4 of its maximum value we can write:

                            0.25*Q_max =  Q_max* ( 1 - e^(-t/RC))

                            0.25 = ( 1 - e^(-t/RC))

                            e^(-t/RC) = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

- Where the current across the capacitor at this time would be:

                            I = I_max* ( e^(-t/RC) )

Where,                 I_max = V / R = ( 10 / 12 )

                            I =  ( 10 / 12 )*( 3 / 4 )

                            I = 0.625 Amp

What influences the strength of an electric field?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object.

Which of the following states that all matter tends to "warp" space in its vicinity and that objects react to this warping by ch
astraxan [27]
Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that space-time is able to be warped in the presence of mass or energy.  This warping is what "tells" matter how to move in its presence.  In the paraphrased words of physicist John Wheeler, matter tells space-time how to warp, and warped space-time tells matter how to move.
