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

Two identical charges q placed 2.0 mapart exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other What is the value of the charge q? a) q
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c) 4.2*10^{-5}C

Explanation:

Coulomb's law says that the force exerted between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, and is given by the expression:

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where k is a proportionality constant with the value k=9*10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}

In this case q_{1}=q_{2}=q, so we have:

F=\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

Solving the equation for q, we have:

kq^{2}=Fr^{2}

q^{2}=\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}}

Replacing the given values:

q=\sqrt{\frac{4.0N*(2.0m)^{2}}{9*10^{-9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}}}

q=4.2*10^{-5}C

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°. Which of these statem
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.
