after a circuit has been turned off, so it is important to make sure they are discharged before you touch them. Suppose a 120 mF

capacitor from a camera flash unit retains a voltage of 150 V when an unwary student removes it from the camera. If the student accidentally touches the two terminals with his hands, and if the resistance of his body between his hands is 1.8 kΩ, for how long will the current across his chest exceed the danger level of 50 mA?

Answer:

The time is $110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec$

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor = 120 μF

Voltage = 150 V

Resistance = 1.8 kΩ

Current = 50 mA

We need to calculate the discharge current

Using formula of discharge current

$i_{0}=\dfrac{V_{0}}{R}$

Put the value into the formula

$i_{0}=\dfrac{150}{1.8\times10^{3}}$

$i_{0}=83.3\times10^{-3}\ A$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{V_{0}}{R}e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}$

Put the value into the formula

$50=\dfrac{150}{1.8\times10^{3}}e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}$

$\dfrac{50}{83.3}=e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}$

$\dfrac{-t}{RC}=ln(0.600)$

$t=0.51\times1.8\times10^{3}\times120\times10^{-6}$

$t=110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec$

Hence, The time is $110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec$

Three balls of equal mass are fired simultaneously with equal speeds from the same height h above the ground. Ball 1 is fired st

Answer:

d) v1 = v2 = v3

Explanation:

This can be answered using conservation of energy. We calculate the mechanical energy E=K+U (sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energies) at the original and final points, and impose they are equal.

At the original point we have, for the three balls:

$E_i=K_i+U_i=\frac{mv_i^2}{2}+mgh_i=\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh$

At the final point we have, for the three balls:

$E_f=K_f+U_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}+mgh_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}$

Since we have $E_i=E_f$ , and $E_i$ is the same for all balls, then $E_f$ is the same for all balls, which means that $v_f$ , the final velocity, is the same for all balls.

(b) Cable of a microwave oven has three wires inside it which have insulation of different colours black, green and red. Mention

MakcuM [25]

The green is ground. Ideally, no current travels in this one. The red and black are the power and neutral wires but which colors they are depends on a convention. In the US, you will actually have a black (power) and a white (neutral) Here it's red and black and usually in a red/black system the red is the power. Either way there is a potential of 120V rms between them.

An electric dipole consists of charges +2e and -2e separated by 0.82 nm. It is in an electric field of strength 3.2 x 10^6 N/C.

Zepler [3.9K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

An electric dipole consists of charges +2e and -2e separated by 0.82 nm

Charge, $q=2e=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Distance between charges, $d=0.82\ nm=0.82\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Electric field strength, $E=3.2\times 10^6\ N/C$

(a) The magnitude of the torque on the dipole is given by :

$\tau=p\times E\ sin\theta$

When dipole moment is parallel to the electric field, $\theta=0$

$\tau=p\times E\ sin(0)$

$\tau=0$

(b) When the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field, $\theta=90$

$\tau=pE\ sin(90)$

$\tau=qdE$ (Since, p = q × d)

$\tau=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 0.82\times 10^{-9}\times 3.2\times 10^6$

$\tau=8.39\times 10^{-22}\ N.m$

(c) When the dipole moment is anti parallel to the electric field, $\theta=180$

$\tau=pE\ sin(180)$

Since, $sin\ 180=0$

$\tau=0$

Hence, this is the required solution.
