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

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 23.2 for continuous charge distribution problems. A straight wire of length L has a positiv
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

             E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

Explanation:

As the charge distribution is continuous we must use integrals to solve the problem, using the equation of the elective field

       E = k ∫ dq/ r² r^

"k" is the Coulomb constant 8.9875 10 9 N / m2 C2, "r" is the distance from the load to the calculation point, "dq" is the charge element  and "r^" is a unit ventor from the load element to the point.

Suppose the rod is along the x-axis, let's look for the charge density per unit length, which is constant

         λ = Q / L

If we derive from the length we have

        λ = dq/dx       ⇒    dq = L dx

We have the variation of the cgarge per unit length, now let's calculate the magnitude of the electric field produced by this small segment of charge

        dE = k dq / x²2

        dE = k λ dx / x²

Let us write the integral limits, the lower is the distance from the point to the nearest end of the rod "d" and the upper is this value plus the length of the rod "del" since with these limits we have all the chosen charge consider

        E = k \int\limits^{d+L}_d {\lambda/x^{2}} \, dx

We take out the constant magnitudes and perform the integral

        E = k λ (-1/x){(-1/x)}^{d+L} _{d}

   

Evaluating

        E = k λ [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

Using   λ = Q/L

        E = k Q/L [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

 

let's use a bit of arithmetic to simplify the expression

     [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]   = L /[d(d+L)]

The final result is

     E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

An organ pipe open at both ends has a length of 0.80 m. If the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the frequency of the
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

the frequency of the second harmonic of the pipe is 425 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the open pipe, L = 0.8 m

velocity of sound, v = 340 m/s

The wavelength of the second harmonic is calculated as follows;

L = A ---> N   +  N--->N   +   N--->A

where;

L is the length of the pipe in the second harmonic

A represents antinode of the wave

N represents the node of the wave

L = \frac{\lambda}{4} + \frac{\lambda}{2} + \frac{\lambda}{4} \\\\L = \lambda

The frequency is calculated as follows;

F_1 = \frac{V}{\lambda} = \frac{340}{0.8} = 425 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the second harmonic of the pipe is 425 Hz.

Determine the right answer to fill in the blank spaces
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pure substance is something that is entirely made up of particles that are identical to each other.

Any substance that is not pure, must be a mixture.

We are surrounded by mixtures. The air is a mixture of gases . The oceans are a mixture of (mainly) water and salt. The solid earth is mostly rock, which is a mixture of different minerals.

Natural resources are substances we need and use, which occur naturally. Some come from living things, (example) cotton other are non-living (example)  sand.

The opposite of a natural resource is a made resource.
