Answer:

Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Superconductors are resistance free materials that enable (allow) <u>electricity conduction (i.e. electron transportation between atoms)</u>.

As the superconductor temperature is gradually lowered, eventually a Critical Temperature is reached, where the <u>superconductor electrical resistivity</u> suddenly drops to zero. Such drop is so fast, that can be described as a complete matter-phase transition. This is in contrast with typical conductors,<em> where with gradually decreasing temperature there is also a gradually decreasing resistivity (which is also true at temperatures of near absolute zero). </em>

Thus the correct answer is the Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential d
Archy [21]

Answer:

The voltage is   V =   0.993V_b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time that has passed is  t = \frac{\tau}{2}

 Here \tau is know as the time constant

    The voltage of the  power source is   V_b

Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as

       V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }]

=>   V =   0.993V_b

Three-fourths of the area of a rectangular lawn 30 feet wide by 40 feet long is to be enclosed by a rectangular fence. If the en
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The fence is 5feet less.

Explanation:

We need to determine

The less amount of fence required, if the enclosure has full width and reduced length, compared to full length and reduced width.

Approach & WorkingArea of lawn = 30 × 403/4th of the area of lawn = ¾(30 × 40) = 30 * 30

 When full width will be fenced, and reduced length will be fenced.

Width = 30 feet30 * L = 30 * 30Hence, length = 30 feetLength of fence needed = 2(30 + 30) = 120 feet

When full length will be fenced, and reduced width will be fenced

Length = 40 feet40 * W = 30 * 30W = 22.5 feetLength of fence needed = 2(40 + 22.5) = 125 feet

Difference in length of fence needed = 125 – 120 = 5 feet.
