1) A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an electrical insulator with no electrically conductive path through

it. Why does a current flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit when the switch is closed?

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>

Vesnalui [34]
The result of a wave generator traveling faster than the speed of a wave is called as a boom. If the wave is a sound wave, it is called a sonic boom. However, if the wave is light, it is called as a luminal boom.  Luminal bloom happens in some industries and is commonly called as the Cherenkov radiation.

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.

On a frictionless surface how much force is necessary to accelerate a 0.49 kg object to the left at 4.8 m/s2?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

<h2>2.35 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

force = 0.49 × 4.8 = 2.352

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.35 N</h3>
