Dielectric materials used in the manufacture of capacitors are characterized by conductivities that are small but not zero. Ther

efore, a charged capacitor slowly loses its charge by "leaking" across the dielectric. If a certain 3.25 µF capacitor leaks charge such that the potential difference decreases to half its initial value in 4 s, what is the equivalent resistance of the dielectric?

Answer:

Equivalent resistance of the dielectric= R =1.78 × 10^6 Ω

Explanation:

This is just an RC circuit, where

q = CVoe-t/RC.

V is proportional to q; so if V has lost half its value, so has q.

So we need R such that

e-t/RC = 0.5

Taking log on both sides, we get

-t/RC = ln(0.5)

R = -t/ln(0.5)C

= (-4 s)/[(3.25×10^-6 F)(-0.693147)]

= 1.78 × 10^6 Ω

<h2>Answer: <u>El Niño</u> phenomenon </h2>

<em>El Niño</em> is a natural climatic phenomenon that occurs cyclically on our planet Earth (albeit irregularly) in periods of between 3 and 7 years. It occurs when the temperature of the Pacific Ocean in its eastern part, which is towards South America, becomes warmer than usual.

To understand it better, it is necessary to know the following:

Normally in the referred area of the Pacific, trade winds blow from east to west, which move the warm water from the area to the west, allowing deeper and colder water to emerge. But, during El Niño the trade winds weaken or even flow in reverse, from west to east. It is then, when the warm water accumulates in front of the pacific coasts of South America provoking a change in the habitual patterns of precipitation and temperature.

As a consequence, hot water evaporates and condenses, causing an increase in rainfall. Due to this change in the trade winds, the climate pattern is altered, and these rains affect more the eastern part of the Pacific, while at the other end of the ocean (in Australia and Southeast Asia) the climate becomes colder and dry.

It should be noted that this is a global phenomenon that affects and extends directly or indirectly in most regions of the planet. However, its greatest impact occurs in the American countries of the Pacific coast; and in Southeast Asia and Australia.

This phenomenom begins during the final months of the year, from October and generally may last until January of the following year, although its effects are often maintained even until March.

How does the position of an object relate to the energy stored in an object?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Potential Energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to it's position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.
