SECTION BTHEORY QUESTIONS(1a) Define the following(a) Work:
1 answer:
Work is the amount of energy transferred
Explanation:
In physics, work is a measure of the energy transfer occurring in a process. Typically, we talk about work when energy is converted from one form into another.
For instance, work is done when a force is applied on an object. The work done on the object is given by:
where
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement
is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement
We notice the following:
- No work is done when the force is perpendicular to the displacement (
)
- The work is maximum when the force is parallel to the displacement
Whenever work is done, there is also an energy transfer taking place. For instance, in the previous example, when the force is applied to the object, the object will accelerate (assume there is no friction), and will gain kinetic energy: therefore, there is a transfer of energy to the object.

The potential difference across a and b is 15 v. determine the electrical charge on the 3 μf capacitor will be 45 * C
Capacitance, property of an electric conductor, or set of conductors, that is measured by the amount of separated electric charge that can be stored on it per unit change in electrical potential. Capacitance also implies an associated storage of electrical energy.
Charge (Q) stored in a capacitor is the product of its capacitance (C) and the voltage (V) applied to it. The capacitance of a capacitor should always be a constant, known value. So we can adjust voltage to increase or decrease the cap's charge. More voltage means more charge, less voltage... less charge.
charge = capacitance * voltage
Q = CV
= 3 * * 15 v
= 45 * C
