A 2.81 μF capacitor is charged to 1220 V and a 6.61 μF capacitor is charged to 560 V. These capacitors are then disconnected fro

m their batteries, and the positive plates are now connected to each other and the negative plates are connected to each other. What will be the potential difference across each?

Answer:

756.88 Volts will be the potential difference across each capacitor.

Explanation:

Q=C\times V

Q = Charge on capacitor

C = Capacitance

V = Voltage across capacitor

Capacitance of first capacitor = C_1=2.81 \mu F=2.81\times 10^{-6} F

Charge of first capacitor = Q_1

Voltage across first capacitor = V_1=1220 V

Q_1=C_1V_1

Q_1=2.81\times 10^{-6} F\times 1220 V=0.0034282 C

Capacitance of first capacitor = C_2=6.61\mu F=6.61\times 10^{-6} F

Charge of second capacitor = Q_2

Voltage across first capacitor = V_2=560 V

Q_2=C_2V_2

Q_1=6.61\times 10^{-6} F\times 560 V=0.0037016 C

Both the capacitors are disconnected and positive plates are now connected to each other and the negative plates are connected to each other. These capacitors are connected in parallel combination.

Total charge = Q

Q =Q_1+Q_2=0.0034282 C+ 0.0037016 C=0.0071298 C

Total capacitance in parallel combination:

C_p=C_1+C_2=2.81\times 10^{-6} F+6.61\times 10^{-6} F=9.42\times 10^{-6} F

Potential across both capacitors = V

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{0.0071298 C}{9.42\times 10^{-6} F}=756.88 V

756.88 Volts will be the potential difference across each capacitor.

Simora [160]

Answer:

c. length of the wall or column and the rate of placement of the concrete

Explanation:

when designing for wall and column form-works, it is of utmost important to know the length of the wall and the type of concrete placement to be used.

Concrete placement has methods and precaution to be taken when doing the  form work

if the concrete placement is manually (hand or funnel) the form work height should not be more than 1 m to enable easy compaction and vibration of concrete in the form.

Also, if the form work length is too long and it is not well reinforced, it tends to burg if the force apply during concrete placement or during vibration is much.
