Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source <em>(displacement current)</em>

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

<em>Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell,  current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.</em>

There is a(n) __________ relationship between an object's weight and its mass.
Mkey [24]
There is a direct relationship between between an object's weight and its mass.

Weight is actually the force of gravity on the object's mass and it can be calculated by multiplying the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The higher the mass, the higher the weight and the lower the mass, the lower the object's weight. Thus, the relationship is direct.

What observations can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Geology is the study of the Earth that involves the process at Earth, materials of which it is made, and its history.

<u>Geologists combine both laboratory and field data to illustrate the results of their research. Some observations that can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab are as follows:</u>

  • Understanding and exploring the earth's surface closely using geophysical tools.
  • Collecting samples by own and make some interpretations at the same time.
  • Observation of the  landscapes
  • Close observation of outcrops

"5 N, up" is an example of a ___.<br> OA) force<br> OB) mass<br> OC) weight<br> OD) magnitude
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]
