Answer:

Explanation:

It is a question relating to charging of capacitor . For charging of capacitor , the formula is as follows.

Q = CV ( 1 - e^{-\lambda\times t} )

λ = 1/CR , C is capacitance and R is resistance.

= 1/(500 x 10⁻⁶ x 20 x 10³ )

= .1

λ t = .1 x 20

λ t = 2

CV = 500 X 10⁻⁶ X 5

= 2500 X 10⁻⁶ C

Q = 2500 x 10⁻⁶ ( 1 - e^{-2} )

= 2500 x 10⁻⁶ x .86566

= 2161.66 μ C .

voltage = Charge / capacitor

2161.66 μ C  / 500μ F

= 4.32 V

Answer:

Voltage across capacitor after 20 sec is 4.323 volt

Explanation:

We have given capacitance C=500\mu F=500\times 10^{-6}F

Battery voltage V = 5 volt

Resistance R=20kohm=20\times 10^3ohm

Time constant of RC circuit

\tau =RC

\tau =20\times 10^3\times 500\times 10^{-6}=10sec

Time is given t = 20 sec

Capacitor voltage at any time is given by

V_C=V_S(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau }})

V_C=5(1-e^{\frac{-20}{10 }})

V_C=5\times 0.864=4.323volt

So voltage across capacitor after 20 sec is 4.323 volt

Why would a soccer ball keep going forever without physics? Pls help and explain why
Pani-rosa [81]
A soccer ball would keep moving forever without physics, because without force to act upon the soccer ball, it could, or will not be able to stop the acceleration. And force is a factor in physics.
