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

zepelin [54]
The correct option is B.
Sunglasses are designed to block polarized light. If you are driving toward the sun,  most of the sun's glare will be coming to you horizontally, thus, the best sunglasses to wear is the one, that will block the horizontal glare and allow only the vertical glare to pass through.
