Answer:

(a) Charge of 4.25 μF capacitor is 35.46 μC.

(b) Charge of 1.13 μF capacitor is 10.05 μC.

(c) Charge of 2.85 μF capacitor is 25.36 μC.

Explanation:

Let C₁ , C₂ and C₃ are the capacitor which are connected to the battery having voltage V. According to the problem, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel. There equivalent capacitance is:

C₄ = C₁ + C₂

Substitute 1.13 μF for C₁ and 2.85 μF for C₂ in the above equation.

C₄ = ( 1.13 + 2.85 ) μF = 3.98 μF

Since, C₄ and C₃ are connected in series, there equivalent capacitance is:

C₅ = \frac{C_{3}C_{4}  }{C_{3} + C_{4}  }

Substitute 4.25 μF for C₃ and 3.98 μF for C₄ in the above equation.

C₅ = \frac{4.25\times3.98 }{4.25 + 3.98  }

C₅ = 2.05 μF

The charge on the equivalent capacitance is determine by the relation :

Q = C₅ V

Substitute 2.05 μF for C₅ and 17.3 volts for V in the above equation.

Q = 2.05 μF x 17.3  = 35.46 μC

Since, the capacitors C₃ and C₄ are connected in series, so the charge on these capacitors are equal to the charge on the equivalent capacitor C₅.

Charge on the capacitor, C₃ = 35.46 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₄ = 35.46 μC

Voltage on the capacitor C₄ = \frac{Q}{C_{4} } = \frac{35.46\times10^{-6} }{3.98\times10^{-6}} = 8.90 volts

Since, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel, the voltage drop on both the capacitors are same, that is equal to 8.90 volts.

Charge on the capacitor, C₁ = C₁ V = 1.13 μF x 8.90 = 10.05 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₂ = C₂ V = 2.85 μF x 8.90 = 25.36 μC

polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

Power = \frac{Energy}{time}

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5at^{2}

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W

How do hydrogen bonds affect boiling points?
Yuri [45]

Boiling points are raised by hydrogen bonds because they make different molecules desire to "attach" to one another, which requires more energy to do so. In water, for instance, the hydrogen proton is in a state that resembles ionization because the connections between oxygen and hydrogen, while covalent, are strongly polar. The oxygen also receives a partial negative charge. Therefore, hydrogen bonds are formed when the electro-positive H in one molecule is strongly electrostatically attracted to the electro-negative O in nearby molecules. Despite being weak links, they are powerful enough to significantly alter the liquid's characteristics.  

Thanks!
