A circuit consists of a lightbulb, capacitor, battery, and open switch all in series. After the switch is closed, describe what

happens to the brightness of the lightbulb. Assume the capacitor is initially uncharged. The lightbulb has resistance so this is essentially an RC circuit.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since this is an RC circuit, an RC circuit can be used to provide various time delays. The capacitor is connected in parallel across the lightbulb. WITH the battery connected , when the switch is closed , the capacitor voltage increases towards the battery voltage at a rate determined by the lightbulb resistance and the capacitance of the capacitor (called the time constant (τ)). The bulb will not emit any light and will act like an open circuit until the voltage across the capacitor reaches a certain level that can bright the bulb, when this voltage is reached the lightbulb brights gradually and the capacitor discharges through it, the lightbulb turns off again because the capacitor voltage drops fast and the capacitor recharges again and the lightbulb brights again

The voltage across the diode indicates the energy given to charge carriers (electrons and holes, but more about that later in th
Elis [28]

Answer:

the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy in a diode is conserved so the energy supplied must be equal to the energy emitted in the form of photons.

The energy of a photon is given by the Planck expression

             E = h f

the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are related

             c = λ f

we substitute

             E = \frac{h \ c}{\lambda}

a red photon has a wavelength of lam = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

we calculate the energy

              E = 6.626 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸/700 10⁻⁹

              E = 2.8397 10⁻¹⁹J

therefore the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J,

When you travel in an elevator (which moves linearly in space), the ___________ detect when the elevator is accelerating or dece
Shtirlitz [24]

We can confirm that when you travel in an elevator, the utricle and saccule detect when the elevator is moving.

<h3>What are the utricle and saccule?</h3>

These are small organs located in the inner ear. They serve a very important function in our everyday life. These otolith organs are responsible for the detection of movement and provide us with a sense of spatial orientation. They accomplish this by stimulating very small, hair-like cells with a specialized fluid.

Therefore, we can confirm that when you travel in an elevator, the utricle and saccule detect when the elevator is accelerating or decelerating.
