Answer: A. They all be the same.

Explanation: In a series circuit the current remains the same the only varible that differs is voltage.

An AC source is connected to a series combination of a light bulb and a variable capacitor. If the capacitance is increased, the

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Since power P=IV

Then it means when current increases, the power increases hence brightness increases. I represent current, P is power and v is voltage.

Current of capacitor when in series connection is given by

$I=2\pi fCV$

where I is current across capacitor, f is frequency, C is capacitance and v is voltage across capacitance. From this second formula, it is evident that an increase in capacitance increases the current across the capacitor. Therefore, if current increases, power also increases leading to an increase in brightness

An 88 kg worker stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale reads 900 N. Fi

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The magnitude is "3.8 m/s²", in the upward direction.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 88 kg

Scale reads,

T = 900 N

As we know,

⇒ $N=mg$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=88\times 9.8$

⇒ $=862.4 \ N$

Now,

⇒ $T=mg-ma$

On substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

⇒ $900=862.4-9.8 a$

On subtracting "862.4" from both sides, we get

⇒ $900-862.4=862.4-9.8 a-862.4$

⇒ $37.6=-9.8a$

⇒ $a=-\frac{37.6}{9.8}$

⇒ $a=3.8 \ m/s^2$ (upward direction)

All of the following would be questions that could be scientifically investigated except:

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

"What is the best advice a parent can give a child?"

Explanation:

The other answers have one clear response. Ex: Orange popsicles melt faster than grape popsicles. That would be a fact.

But parental advice can vary, depending on your opinion. I may say that all parents must teach their children not to talk to strangers, while someone else may say that parents should advice their kids to treat everyone fairly. Nothing can be proven as the only appropriate response.

Hope this helps!

Establishing a potential difference The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 10

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

$A$ = Area = $10\times 2\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}^2$

$d$ = Distance between plates = 1 mm

$V_c$ = Changed voltage = 60 V

$V$ = Initial voltage = 100 V

$R$ = Resistance = $1000\ \Omega$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 10\times 2\times 10^{-4}}{1\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=1.7708\times 10^{-11}\ \text{F}$

We have the relation

$V_c=V(1-e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}})\\\Rightarrow e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}}=1-\dfrac{V_c}{V}\\\Rightarrow -\dfrac{t}{CR}=\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-CR\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-1.7708\times 10^{-11}\times 1000\ln(1-\dfrac{60}{100})\\\Rightarrow t=1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

The time taken for the potential difference to reach the required level is $1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$ .
