A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V. A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly ch

arged so that the potential difference between its plates is 5.0 V. The two charged capacitors are then connected to each other in parallel with positive plate connected to positive plate and negative plate connected to negative plate. Find the charch that flows from one capacitor to the other when the capacitors are connected (17 microcoulombs) and the energy that is dissipated when the two capacitors are connected together (42 microjoules)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

First Capacitor is 10 µF

C_1 = 10 µF

Potential difference is

V_1 = 10 V.

The charge on the plate is

q_1 = C_1 × V_1 = 10 × 10^-6 × 10 = 100µC

q_1 = 100 µC

A second capacitor is 5 µF

C_2 = 5 µF

Potential difference is

V_2 = 5V.

Then, the charge on the capacitor 2 is.

q_2 = C_2 × V_2

q_2 = 5µF × 5 = 25 µC

Then, the average capacitance is

q = (q_1 + q_2) / 2

q = (25 + 100) / 2

q = 62.5µC

B. The two capacitor are connected together, then the equivalent capacitance is

Ceq = C_1 + C_2.

Ceq = 10 µF + 5 µF.

Ceq = 15 µF.

The average voltage is

V = (V_1 + V_2) / 2

V = (10 + 5)/2

V = 15 / 2 = 7.5V

Energy dissipated is

U = ½Ceq•V²

U = ½ × 15 × 10^-6 × 7.5²

U = 4.22 × 10^-4 J

U = 422 × 10^-6

U = 422 µJ

Why is it that the two possible faults with inductors are short circuit and open circuit?
lukranit [14]
These are the most common type of faults not just inductors but also with other elements too like resistors,transformers, generators etc.
open circuit fault means the flow of current is disrupted some how in the circuit and the circuit stops operating. and for short circuit fault the current in the system will be pretty high and this short circuit current or fault current will always run back to the fault location, if the inductor got short circuited somehow then the fault current will only run through it because it will then provide a very low impedence path

Can someone help me?
Cloud [144]

What do we know that might help here ?

-- Temperature of a gas is actually the average kinetic energy of its molecules.

-- When something moves faster, its kinetic energy increases.

Knowing just these little factoids, we realize that as a gas gets hotter, the average speed of its molecules increases.

That's exactly what Graph #1 shows.

How about the other graphs ?

-- Graph #3 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed DEcreases.  That can't be right.

-- Graph #4 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed doesn't change at all.  That can't be right.

-- Graph #2 says that after the gas reaches some temperature and you heat it hotter than that, the speed of the molecules starts going DOWN.  That can't be right.

Waves transport
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.

PLEASEEE HELPPP!!!
Alja [10]

Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :

W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
