Masteriza [31]3 years ago

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.

A special triangular frame is being made for a piece of artwork. The the base of the triangular frame must be 90 cm. If the area
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Explanation:

base of triangular frame, b = 90 cm

Area, A = 765 cm²

Let the height is h.

Area of a triangular frame = 1/2 x base x height

765 = 0.5 x 90 x h

h = 17 cm

Thus, the height of triangular frame is 17 cm.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Running is probably the simplest individual sport for promoting both health-related and skill-related fitness. Fencing is often referred to as "mental chess" because it requires dexterity, endurance, and discipline. Individual sports require the coach to make all of the decisions for the athlete.
