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

Answer: The plasma membrane is called a selectively permeable membrane as it permits the movement of only certain molecules in and out of the cells. Not all molecules are free to diffuse. If plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down then molecules of some substances will freely move in and out of the cells.

borishaifa [10]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

f = 2Hz

c = 3*10^8km/s

Replacing we have,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}

\lambda = 1.5*10^8m

<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is 1.5*10^{8}m</em>
