Answer:

C. Zero.

Explanation:

A Resistor and Capacitor combination is called an RC circuit.

When the switch is closed, the charge  on the capacitor starts to increase. This continues until the voltage across it becomes the supply voltage provided by the battery. (EMF of the battery).  Current is maximum.

As charge builds up on the capacitor, current will slow down. Once the capacitor is fully charged, no more current flows in the circuit, since the capacitor behaves as an open circuit.

The voltage increase provided by the battery is equal tot he voltage drop across the capacitor . At this point, the voltage drop across the resistor is zero and hence No Current flows.

As time increases, the current across it decreases exponentially according to the equation I (t) = I(0) e ⁻ t / τ .

Select the correct answer. What do scientists use to determine the temperature of a star? A. Thermometer B. Distance from Earth
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Color

Explanation:

Thus, for stars, considering them as “black bodies”, we can get an approximate figure for their temperature by measuring their dominant frequency (color). Technically scientists measure the brightness of the blue light and that of red light from the star, and from this they can calculate the temperature of the star.

Which of the following is not true about electric potential energy?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

the second one

Explanation:

When a free positive charge q is accelerated by an electric field, such as shown in Figure 1, it is given kinetic energy. The process is analogous to an object being accelerated by a gravitational field. It is as if the charge is going down an electrical hill where its electric potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Let us explore the work done on a charge q by the electric field in this process, so that we may develop a definition of electric potential energy.

The electrostatic or Coulomb force is conservative, which means that the work done on q is independent of the path taken. This is exactly analogous to the gravitational force in the absence of dissipative forces such as friction. When a force is conservative, it is possible to define a potential energy associated with the force, and it is usually easier to deal with the potential energy (because it depends only on position) than to calculate the work directly.
