<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

B. The amount of pressure exerted by a solid is solely dependent on its mass.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Pressure is the force per unit area exerted by a substance on a surface.
  • <em><u>Solids exerts pressure on surfaces, which does not depend on the mass of the solid, but depends on the area of contact on the solid and the force applied.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Since pressure refers to force exerted per unit area. Pressure can be increased by either increasing the size of the force or reducing the area over which the force acts.</u></em>
  • <em><u>A solid with a larger surface area where the force acts will exert less pressure compared to a solid surface with a small area where the force acts. </u></em>

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL²  will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

Consider the four quantum numbers of an electron in an atom, n, l, ml, and ms. The energy of an electron in an isolated atom dep
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The energy of an electron in an isolated atom depends on b. n only.

Explanation:

The quantum number n, known as the principal quantum number represents the relative overall energy of each orbital.

The sets of orbitals with the same n value are often referred to as an electron shell, in an isolated atom all electrons in a subshell have exactly the same level of energy.

The principal quantum number comes from the solution of the Schrödinger wave equation, which describes energy in eigenstates E_n, and for the case of an hydrogen atom we have:

E_n=-\cfrac{13.6}{n^2}\, eV

Thus for each value of n we can describe the orbital and the energy corresponding to each electron on such orbital.
