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

The force diagram represents a girl pulling a sled with a mass of 6.0 kg to the left with a force of 10.0 N at a 30.0 degree ang
Vilka [71]
Normal Force = 54 N
acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

For Normal Force:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all up and down forces):

10 sin 30 + Normal Force - 58.8 = 0
Normal Force = 53.8 N = 54 N

For acceleration:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all left and right forces):

10 cos 30 - 1.5 = (6.0) (Acceleration)
Acceleration = 1.19 m/s^2 = 1.2 m/s^2

Describe the difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate and the velocity graph made at an increasing ra
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate means that its the same value in time, that means there's no slope on the graph, so its acceleration is 0

On the other hand, if the velocity is increasing with time, the slope of the graph becomes positive, which means that the acceleration of the particle is positive.

Two flat 4.0 cm × 4.0 cm electrodes carrying equal but opposite charges are spaced 2.0 mm apart with their midpoints opposite ea
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

1.77 x 10^-8 C

Explanation:

Let the surface charge density of each of the plate is σ.

A = 4 x 4 = 16 cm^2 = 16 x 10^-4 m^2

d = 2 mm

E = 2.5 x 10^6 N/C

ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2

Electric filed between the plates (two oppositively charged)

E = σ / ε0

σ = ε0 x E

σ = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 2.5 x 10^6 = 22.125 x 10^-6 C/m^2

The surface charge density of each plate is ± σ / 2

So, the surface charge density on each = ± 22.125 x 10^-6 / 2

                                                                 = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 C/m^2  

Charge on each plate = Surface charge density on each plate x area of each plate

Charge on each plate = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6  x 16 x 10^-4 = ± 1.77 x 10^-8 C
