(a) On the coil: 20 V, on the resistor: 0 V

The sum of the potential difference across the coil and the potential difference across the resistor is equal to the voltage provided by the battery, V = 20 V:

V = V_R + V_L

The potential difference across the inductance is given by

V_L(t) = V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} (1)

where

\tau = \frac{L}{R}=\frac{0.005 H}{6.00 \Omega}=8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s is the time constant of the circuit

At time t=0,

V_L(0) = V e^0 = V = 20 V

So, all the potential difference is across the coil, therefore the potential difference across the resistor will be zero:

V_R = V-V_L = 20 V-20 V=0

(b) On the coil: 0 V, on the resistor: 20 V

Here we are analyzing the situation several seconds later, which means that we are analyzing the situation for

t >> \tau

Since \tau is at the order of less than milliseconds.

Using eq.(1), we see that for t >> \tau, the exponential becomes zero, and therefore the potential difference across the coil is zero:

V_L = 0

Therefore, the potential difference across the resistor will be

V_R = V-V_L = 20 V- 0 = 20 V

(c) Yes

The two voltages will be equal when:

V_L = V_R (2)

Reminding also that the sum of the two voltages must be equal to the voltage of the battery:

V=V_L +V_R

And rewriting this equation,

V_R = V-V_L

Substituting into (2) we find

V_L = V-V_L\\2V_L = V\\V_L=\frac{V}{2}=10 V

So, the two voltages will be equal when they are both equal to 10 V.

(d) at t=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s

We said that the two voltages will be equal when

V_L=\frac{V}{2}

Using eq.(1), and this last equation, this means

V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} = \frac{V}{2}

And solving the equation for t, we find the time t at which the two voltages are equal:

e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}=\frac{1}{2}\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(1/2)\\t=-\tau ln(0.5)=-(8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s)ln(0.5)=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s

(e-a) -19.2 V on the coil, 19.2 V on the resistor

Here we have that the current in the circuit is

I_0 = 3.20 A

The problem says this current is stable: this means that we are in a situation in which t>>\tau, so the coil has no longer influence on the circuit, which is operating as it is a normal circuit with only one resistor. Therefore, we can find the potential difference across the resistor using Ohm's law

V=I_0 R = (3.20 A)(6.0 \Omega)=19.2 V

Then the battery is removed from the circuit: this means that the coil will discharge through the resistor.

The voltage on the coil is given by

V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} (1)

which means that it is maximum at the moment when the battery is disconnected, when t=0:

V_L(0)=.V

And V this time is the voltage across the resistor, 19.2 V (because the coil is now connected to the resistor, not to the battery). So, the voltage across the coil will be -19.2 V, and the voltage across the resistor will be the same in magnitude, 19.2 V (since the coil and the resistor are connected to the same points in the circuit): however, the signs of the potential difference will be opposite.

(e-b) 0 V on both

After several seconds,

t>>\tau

If we use this approximation into the formula

V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} (1)

We find that

V_L = 0

And since now the resistor is directly connected to the coil, the voltage in the resistor will be the same as the coil, so 0 V. This means that the coil has completely discharged, and current is no longer flowing through the circuit.

Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

An electroscope is a fork-shaped device commonly used to detect the presence of charge. The tin leaves of an electroscope will s
velikii [3]

Answer:

All these is caused by the repulsion force.

Explanation:

The electroscope produces a series of electric charges that produce a repulsion force when is putted in contact with a electric charged object.

As the physics law mentions, two different forces are repealed, the electrocospe is charged negatively and the object positively, causing a repulsion force that avoids that both objects touch the other.

A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The tensions in T_{BC} is approximately 4,934.2 lb and the tension in T_{BD} is approximately  6,035.7 lb

Explanation:

The given information are;

The angle formed by the two rope segments are;

The angle, Φ, formed by rope segment BC with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 26.0°

The angle, θ, formed by rope segment BD with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 21.0°

Therefore, we have;

The tension in rope segment BC = T_{BC}

The tension in rope segment BD = T_{BD}

The tension in rope segment AB = T_{AB} = Pulling force of tugboat = 1200 lb

By resolution of forces acting along the line A_F gives;

T_{BC} × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = T_{AB} = 1200 lb

T_{BC} × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb............(1)

Similarly, we have for equilibrium, the sum of the forces acting perpendicular to tow cable = 0, therefore, we have;

T_{BC} × sin(26.0°) + T_{BD} × sin(21.0°) = 0...........................(2)

Which gives;

T_{BC} × sin(26.0°) = - T_{BD} × sin(21.0°)

T_{BC} = - T_{BD} × sin(21.0°)/(sin(26.0°))  ≈ - T_{BD} × 0.8175

Substituting the value of, T_{BC}, in equation (1), gives;

- T_{BD} × 0.8175 × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb

- T_{BD} × 0.7348  + T_{BD} ×0.9336 = 1200 lb

T_{BD} ×0.1988 = 1200 lb

T_{BD} ≈ 1200 lb/0.1988 = 6,035.6938 lb

T_{BD} ≈ 6,035.6938 lb

T_{BC} ≈ - T_{BD} × 0.8175 = 6,035.6938 × 0.8175 = -4934.1733 lb

T_{BC} ≈ -4934.1733 lb

From which we have;

The tensions in T_{BC} ≈ -4934.2 lb and  T_{BD} ≈ 6,035.7 lb.

How are scientific theories and laws similar?
anzhelika [568]
This the answer <span>Often, a law can be expressed in the form of a single mathematical equation. Laws and theories are similar in that they are both scientific statements that result from a tested hypothesis and are supported by scientific evidence. ... A theory, in contrast, is a less concise statement of observed phenomena. i hope this help </span>
