Answer: B.

Capacitors prevent current from moving through a circuit

Explanation:

If a direct voltage is applied on the capacitor, no conduction current flows through the capacitor if its insulating medium is perfect insulator. This is due to the fact that there are no free charge carriers in such medium. Basically the real insulator contains very few charge carriers and therefore a very small leakage current passes in the capacitor depending on the conductivity of the insulator.

If an alternating voltage is applied on the capacitor, a displacement current passes through the capacitor irrespective of the insulating medium. This current is termed also the capacitive current. It flows because of changing electric displacement with time.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Q = - 256 X 10⁻⁷ C .

Explanation:

Electric field due to a charge Q at a distance d from the center is given by the expression

E = k Q /d² Where k is a constant and it is equal to 9 x 10⁹

Put the given value in the equation

9 x 10² = $\frac{9\times10^9\times Q}{(14+2)^2\times10^{-4}}$

Q = $\frac{9\times16^2\times10^{-2}}{9\times10^9}$

Q = - 256 X 10⁻⁷ C .

It will be negative in nature as the field is directed towards the center.

A marble runs off the edge of a table that is 1.5 m high and the marble lands 0.50 m from the base of the table. a. How much tim

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

t = 0.55[sg]; v = 0.9[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must establish the initial conditions with which we can work.

y = initial elevation = - 1.5 [m]

x = landing distance = 0.5 [m]

We set "y" with a negative value, as this height is below the table level.

in the following equation (vy)o is equal to zero because there is no velocity in the y component.

therefore:

$y = (v_{y})_{o}*t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}\\ where:\\(v_{y})_{o}=0[m/s]\\t = time [sg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[\frac{m}{s^{2}}]\\ -1.5 = 0*t -4.905*t^{2} \\t = \sqrt{\frac{1.5}{4.905} } \\t=0.55[s]$
