To solve this problem we will apply the expression of charge per unit of time in a capacitor with a given resistance. Mathematically said expression is given as

q(t) = e^{-\frac{t}{(R*C)}}

Here,

q = Charge

t = Time

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

When the charge reach its half value it has passed 10ms, then the equation is,

\frac{1}{2}*q_{final} = e^{-\frac{0.01}{(R*C)}}

Ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{0.01}{RC}

- RC = \frac{0.01}{Ln(1/2)}

RC = 0.014s

We know that RC is equal to the time constant, then

T = RC  = 0.014s = 14ms

Therefore the time constant for the process is about 14ms

What is population inversion and what is laser inversion?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Population inversion, in physics, the redistribution of atomic energy levels that takes place in a system so that laser action can occur. Although absorption and emission of energy is a continuous process, the statistical distribution (population) of atoms in the various energy states is constant. ...

laser inversion is photon that can stimulate the production of other photons of exactly the same wavelength because of stimulated emission of radiation.

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 2.04×10−14 N toward the south.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part A:

E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

Explanation:

Part A:

Magnitude if electric field E:

E=Force/charge

Force=2.04×10−14 N

Charge=1.6×10−19 C

E=\frac{2.04*10^{-14}}{1.6*10^{-19}} \\E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

As electron is experiencing the force towards south,it means the direction of the electric field is towards the south because direction of field lines is from positive to negative, so proton is moving towards south it means negative charge is in south to which proton is attracted. So electric field is towards South.
