A 0.9 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V. The wires connecting the capacitor to the battery are then di

sconnected from the battery and connected across a second, initially uncharged, capacitor. The potential difference across the 0.9 µF capacitor then drops to 2 V. What is the capacitance of the second capacitor?

Answer:

3.6μF

Explanation:

The charge on the capacitor is defined by the formula

q = CV

because the charge will be conserved

q₁ = C₁V₂

q₂ = C₂V₂ where C₂ V₂ represent the charge on the newly connected capacitor  and the voltage drop across the two capacitor will be the same

q = q₁ + q₂ = C₁V₂ + C₂V₂

CV = CV₂ + C₂V₂

CV - CV₂ = C₂V₂

C ( V - V₂) = C₂V₂

C ( V/ V₂ - V₂ /V₂) = C₂

C₂ = 0.9 ( 10 /2) - 1) = 0.9( 5 - 1) = 3.6μF

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: the options to the questions are

a. 1.0 moles of N2

b.0.5 moles of New

c.0.2 moles of CO2

d.2 moles of He

Answer D

Explanation:

The average molecular speed v of gas is given by =√(8RT,/πM)

From the equation it can be seen that substance with lowest molar mass has the highest velocity has He is the answer
