A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. What does th

e time constant for the circuit represent? A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. What does the time constant for the circuit represent? The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 25% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 63% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 99% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 37% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 75% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 50% of the maximum current.

Answer:

The time constant τ = L/R represent the time requiered for the curent to get value of 63 % of its maximun value

Explanation:

In a circuit RL ( serie circuit with a resistor R and the inductor L ) when a voltage is applied the inductor will have a reaction, such reaction consist in the creation of an electromotive force which will prevent the current to get its maximun value. The time constant which in the case of an inductor is

τ = L/R ,  represent the time requiered for the crrent to be 63 % of its final value

The air you breathe is made of 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen. The oxygen in air is the _____ and the nitrogen is the _____. soluti
siniylev [52]
The oxygen is the Solute, since this is smaller in quantity.

The Nitrogen is the Solvent, since this is more in quantity.

The air is the Solution, this is the mixture itself.

natali 33 [55]
Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecules and energy is related to speed. 

<span>The water in a pot is heated by convection. The water on the bottom will warm up and rise toward the surface and the cooler water will then sink to the bottom where it will be heated. </span>

<span>A high pH is indicative of a basic solution. HCl and H2SO4 are both strong acids and will result in a lower (more acidic) pH. Water is the standard. KOH is a strong base and will increase the pH. </span>

<span>An acidic solid will lower the pH of a solution. pH measures the number of hydrogen ions and a lower pH will mean that there are more H+ ions, but the solid could just have reacted with the OH- to cause the pH to decrease</span>

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.
