Answer:

The energy stored in the capacitor, when the current in the inductor is 1.2 A, is 41.6 mJ.

Explanation:

In a LC oscillating circuit, the energy is stored in the electric field (between the plates of the capacitor) and in the magnetic field (surrounding the wires of the inductor).

At any time, the sum of both energies can be expressed as follows:

E = 1/2 Q² / C   +  1/2 L I²

In this type of circuit, energy oscillates, which means that it is exchanging between both fields all time.

When the capacitor is completely discharged, all the energy is stored in the magnetic field, and at that time, the current is maximum.

The total energy, when I is maximum, can be written as follows:

E = 1/2 L I² (1)

In our case, when I= 2.4A, E= 56 mJ.

So, we can find out the value of L, which will allow us to know the value of the magnetic energy at any time, having the value of the instantaneous current.

Solving for L in (1):

L = 2 *.56 mJ / (2.4)² A² = 20 mH

The next step is getting the value of the energy stored in the inductor, when I = 1.2 A, as follows:

Em = 1/2 *20 mH.* (1.2)² A² = 14.4 mJ

As the total energy must be always the same, i.e., 56 mJ, the energy stored in the capacitor, assuming no losses, must be the difference between the total energy and the one stored in the magnetic field:

Ec = 56 mJ - 14.4 mJ = 41.6 mJ

8. The fact that voltage can be created by exerting force on a crystal is used in which type of sensor?
AfilCa [17]

Option C

The fact that voltage can be created by exerting force on a crystal is used in Knock sensor

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any knock to an engine exhibits as a little shake that is distinguished by the knock sensor. This sensor acts by altering the fluctuation to an electrical sign, which is later transferred to the processor mastering the ignition system.

There the variation in quake to the voltage sign modifies the timing improvements on the kindling. The knock sensor is placed on the engine base, cylinder cap or consumption manifold. This is because its purpose is to sense fluctuations affected by engine knock or explosion.

The diffusion rate for a solute is 4.0 x 10^-11 kg/s in a solvent- filled channel that has a cross-sectional area of 0.50 cm^2 a
zlopas [31]

Answer:

s = 9.6\times 10^{-12}kg/s

Explanation:

Given:

Solute Diffusion rate  = 4.0 × 10⁻¹¹ kg/s

Area of cross-section = 0.50 cm²

Length of channel  =0.25 cm

Now for the new channel

Area of cross-section = 0.30 cm²

Length of channel  =0.10 cm

let the Solute Diffusion rate  of new channel = s

now equating the diffusion rate per unit volume for both the channels

\frac{4\times 10^{-11}}{0.50\times 0.25}=\frac{s}{0.30\times 0.10}

thus,

s = 9.6\times 10^{-12}kg/s
