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

At which point on this electric field will a test charge show the maximum strength?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The figure shows the electric field produced by a spherical charge distribution - this is a radial field, whose strength decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance from the centre of the charge:

E\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

More precisely, the strength of the field at a distance r from the centre of the sphere is

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the charge on the sphere.

From the equation, we see that the field strength decreases as we move away from the sphere: therefore, the strength is maximum for the point closest to the sphere, which is point A.

This can also be seen from the density of field lines: in fact, the closer the field lines, the stronger the field. Point A is the point where the lines have highest density, therefore it is also the point where the field is strongest.

A box is pushed 40 m by a mover. The amount of work done was 2,240 j. How much force was exerted on the box
Georgia [21]

The force exerted on the box is 56 N

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the box in this problem, we have:

W = 2240 J is the work done

d = 40 m is the displacement of the box

Assuming that the  force is parallel to the displacement, \theta=0

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted on the box:

F=\frac{W}{d cos \theta}=\frac{2240}{(40)(cos 0)}=56 N

In 1929 Edwin Hubble used a telescope to discover the movement of galaxies. True or false
larisa86 [58]

Explanation :

Edwin Hubble used a telescope to discover the movement of galaxies in 1929. He was an American Astronomer.

The telescope invented by him is called a Hubble telescope. It has a 2.4-meter mirror.

He gives the relation between the distance to a galaxy and its recessional velocity. This is known as the Hubble law. The relation is as follows :

v=H_0\ r

where,

v is recessional velocity.

H_0 is Hubble constant.

r is distance.

<em>So, the given statement is True.</em>
