Two students measure the time constant of an RC circuit. The first student charges the capacitor using a 12 V battery, then lets

the capacitor discharge the resistor. The second student repeats the experiment using a 5 V battery
Which student measures the longer time constant? Why? Select the correct answer and explanation.

a.) The second student gets a greater time constant, since the time constant decreases as the charge on the capacitor increases.

b.) The first student gets a greater time constant, since the time constant increases as the charge on the capacitor increases.

c.) Both students get the same time constant, since the time constant does not depend on the charge on the capacitor.

Answer:

The answer is: c.) Both students get the same time constant, since the time constant does not depend on the charge on the capacitor

Explanation:

Both students, because the time constant is not dependent on the capacitor charge.  We can express the equation of the time constant as follows:

Time constant = RC

In this equation it is observed that the time constant is equal to the multiplication of the resistance (R) multiplied by the capacitance (C)

Does the same battery always deliver the same amount of flow to any circuit? Mention two observations of any circuits in this la
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given that the battery is the same the PD ( potential difference ) in the circuit will also be the same likewise the flow of charge in the circuit,

Hence the same amount of charge flow is delivered to any circuit.

Adding or removing thermal energy to or from a substance does not always cause its temperature
julia-pushkina [17]
Change in thermal energy not always cause it's temperature change. It is the situation when water reaches either at 0 C or 100 C then thermal energy doesn't cause change in temperature instead it changes the state of matter.

In short, Your Answer would be "True"

Hope this helps!

An 100W light bulb is on 6 hours work out the energy (kWh) used and the cost of it (1kWh = £0.1359) with working out please
Ainat [17]
1,000 W  =  1 kW
100 W  =  0.1 kW

           (0.1 kW) x (6 h) = 0.6 kWh    <=== energy

           (0.6 kWh) x (£0.1359/kWh)  =  £0.0815     <=== cost of it
