A charging RC circuit controls the intermittent windshield wipers in a car. The emf is 12.0 V. The wipers are triggered when the

voltage across the 125 mu or micro F capacitor reaches 10.0 V; then the capacitor is quickly discharged (through a much smaller resistor) and the cycle repeats. What resistance should be used in the charging circuit if the wipers are to operate once every 1.80 s?

Answer:

R=803k\Omega

Explanation:

We have the following information,

V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}

Replacing values,

R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}

R=803k\Omega

During normal beating, the heart creates a maximum 3.60 mV potential across 0.250 m of a person's chest, creating a 1.00 Hz elec
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The maximum electric field strength is 0.0144 V/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric potential created in the heart, V = 3.6 mV

Distance, d= 0.25 m

Frequency of the the electromagnetic wave, f = 1 Hz

We need to find the maximum electric field strength created. We know that the electric potential is given by :

V=Ed

E is the maximum electric field strength

E=\dfrac{V}{d}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.6\times 10^{-3}\ V}{0.25\ m}\\\\E=0.0144\ V/m

So, the maximum electric field strength is 0.0144 V/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of these would best describe the outcome of increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules in the above picture? A) The te
VikaD [51]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature is as follows.

                K.E \propto \frac{3}{2}kT

As, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature. So, when there will be increase in temperature then there will also occur increase in kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

And, when gas particles move slowly then it means kinetic energy of gas particles is very low. It also implies that temperature is low.

Thus, we can conclude that temperature will increase best describes the outcome of increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules in the above picture.
