Describe the difference between the currents that exist in the wires leading to a capacitor when these wires are connected to (a

) a DC source and (b) an AC source.

Answer:

Explanation: In DC circuit, the current will flow for a short time, which is required to charge the capacitor. Once you switch it on, it spikes and the gradually decreases to almost zero (0) as the capacitor becomes fully charged.

In an AC circuit, the circuit acts as if the current is flowing throw the plates whereas is not actually flowing. The circuit acts like the AC is flowing through the capacitor.

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.

Ksju [112]

<span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now.
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed]
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>

There are four charges, each with a magnitude of 4.25 C. Two are positive and two are negative. The charges are fixed to the cor

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

F = 7.68 10¹¹ N, θ = 45º

Explanation:

In this exercise we ask for the net electric force. Let's start by writing the configuration of the charges, the charges of the same sign must be on the diagonal of the cube so that the net force is directed towards the interior of the cube, see in the attached numbering and sign of the charges

The net force is

F_ {net} = F₂₁ + F₂₃ + F₂₄

bold letters indicate vectors. The easiest method to solve this exercise is by using the components of each force.

let's use trigonometry

cos 45 = F₂₄ₓ / F₂₄

sin 45 = F_{24y) / F₂₄

F₂₄ₓ = F₂₄ cos 45

F_{24y} = F₂₄ sin 45

let's do the sum on each axis

X axis

Fₓ = -F₂₁ + F₂₄ₓ

Fₓ = -F₂₁₁ + F₂₄ cos 45

Y axis

F_y = - F₂₃ + F_{24y}

F_y = -F₂₃ + F₂₄ sin 45

They indicate that the magnitude of all charges is the same, therefore

F₂₁ = F₂₃

Let's use Coulomb's law

F₂₁ = k q₁ q₂ / r₁₂²

the distance between the two charges is

r = a

F₂₁ = k q² / a²

we calculate F₂₄

F₂₄ = k q₂ q₄ / r₂₄²

the distance is

r² = a² + a²

r² = 2 a²

we substitute

F₂₄ = k q² / 2 a²

we substitute in the components of the forces

Fx = $- k \frac{q^2}{a^2} + k \frac{q^2}{2 a^2} \ cos 45$

Fx = $k \frac{q^2}{a^2}$ ( -1 + ½ cos 45)

F_y = k \frac{q^2}{a^2} ( -1 + ½ sin 45)

We calculate

F₀ = 9 10⁹ 4.25² / 0.440²

F₀ = 8.40 10¹¹ N

Fₓ = 8.40 10¹¹ (½ 0.707 - 1)

Fₓ = -5.43 10¹¹ N

remember cos 45 = sin 45

F_y = - 5.43 10¹¹ N

We can give the resultant force in two ways

a) F = Fₓ î + F_y ^j

F = -5.43 10¹¹ (i + j) N

b) In the form of module and angle.

For the module we use the Pythagorean theorem

F = $\sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}$

F = 5.43 10¹¹ √2

F = 7.68 10¹¹ N

in angle is

θ = 45º

Compare the circular velocity of a particle orbiting in the Encke Division, whose distance from Saturn 133,370 km, to a particle

Ket [755]

Answer:

The particle in the D ring is 1399 times faster than the particle in the Encke Division.

Explanation:

The circular velocity is define as:

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$

Where r is the radius of the trajectory and T is the orbital period

To determine the circular velocity of both particles it is necessary to know the orbital period of each one. That can be done by means of the Kepler’s third law:

$T^{2} = r^{3}$

Where T is orbital period and r is the radius of the trajectory.

Case for the particle in the Encke Division:

$T^{2} = r^{3}$

$T = \sqrt{(133370 Km)^{3}}$

$T = \sqrt{(2.372x10^{15} Km)}$

$T = 4.870x10^{7} Km$

It is necessary to pass from kilometers to astronomical unit (AU), where 1 AU is equivalent to 150.000.000 Km ( $1.50x10^{8} Km$ )

1 AU is defined as the distance between the earth and the sun.

$\frac{4.870x10^{7} Km}{1.50x10^{8}Km} . 1AU$

$T = 0.324 AU$

But 1 year is equivalent to 1 AU according with Kepler’s third law, since 1 year is the orbital period of the earth.

$T = \frac{0.324 AU}{1 AU} . 1 year$

$T = 0.324 year$

That can be expressed in units of days

$T = \frac{0.324 year}{1 year} . 365.25 days$

$T = 118.60 days$

<em>Circular velocity for the particle in the </em><em>Encke Division</em><em>:</em>

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (133370 Km)}{(118.60 days)}$

For a better representation of the velocity, kilometers and days are changed to meters and seconds respectively.

$118.60 days .\frac{86400 s}{1 day}$ ⇒ 10247040 s

$133370 Km .\frac{1000 m}{1 Km}$ ⇒ 133370000 m

$v = \frac{2 \pi (133370000 m)}{(10247040 s)}$

$v = 81.778 m/s$

Case for the particle in the D Ring:

For the case of the particle in the D Ring, the same approach used above can be followed

$T^{2} = r^{3}$

$T = \sqrt{(69000 Km)^{3}}$

$T = \sqrt{(3.285x10^{14} Km)}$

$T = 1.812x10^{7} Km$

$\frac{1.812x10^{7} Km}{1.50x10^{8}Km} . 1 AU$

$T = 0.120 AU$

$T = \frac{0.120 AU}{1 AU} . 1 year$

$T = 0.120 year$

$T = \frac{0.120 year}{1 year} . 365.25 days$

$T = 43.83 days$

<em>Circular velocity for the particle in </em><em>D Ring</em><em>:</em>

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (69000 Km)}{(43.83 days)}$

For a better representation of the velocity, kilometers and days are changed to meters and seconds respectively.

$43.83 days . \frac{86400 s}{1 day}$ ⇒ 3786912 s

$69000 Km . \frac{1000 m}{ 1 Km}$ ⇒ 69000000 m

$v = \frac{2 \pi (69000000 m)}{(3786912 s)}$

$v = 114.483 m/s$

$\frac{114.483 m/s}{81.778 m/s} = 1.399$

The particle in the D ring is 1399 times faster than the particle in the Encke Division.
