That statement is true.
the capacitor is initially uncharged, but starts to charged when the switch is closed.
The potential difference across the resistor will steadily dropped as the potential difference across the capacitor increased.

What is the most violent star death called

gogolik [260]

Hi there!

The most violent star death is a Supernova. This is the massive explosion of a supergiant star as it's fuel source runs out and it can no longer fuse iron at its core safely. This causes the star to swell to unstable sizes until it explodes in a Supernova. The amount of energy that is output during a supernova is equivalent to all the energy our own Sun outputs in its whole lifetime.

An object with a resistance of 28 Ω has 76 V applied to it. How much electric current is going through this object? Answer in un

12345 [234]

Answer : The electric current of a circuit is, 2.8 A.

Explanation :

Using Ohm's law :

$V=I\times R$

Or,

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where,

R = resistance of a circuit = 28 Ω

V = voltage of circuit = 76 volts = 76 V

I = current flowing in a circuit = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get :

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{76V}{28\Omega }$

$I=2.8A$

Therefore, the electric current of a circuit is, 2.8 A

incline plane is given length 12m,load 600 newton,effort 200 Newton, Height 3 metre find its velocity ratio and mechanical advan

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

i. The velocity ratio of the plane is 4.

ii. The mechanical advantage of the plane is 3.

Explanation:

i. The velocity ratio (VR) of an inclined plane is ratio of its length to the height. It is given as;

VR = $\frac{length of the plane}{height}$ = $\frac{l}{h}$
