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

Starting from zero, the electric current takes 2 seconds to reach half its maximum possible value in an RL circuit with a resist
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

time=4s

Explanation:

we know that in a RL circuit with a resistance R, an inductance L and a battery of emf E, the current (i) will vary in following fashion

i(t)=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}), where imax=\frac{E}{R}

Given that, at i(2)=\frac{imax}{2} =\frac{E}{2R}

⇒\frac{E}{2R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}})

⇒\frac{1}{2}=1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒\frac{1}{2}=e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒log(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒log(2)=\frac{2}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}

Now substitute i(t)=\frac{3}{4}imax=\frac{3E}{4R}

⇒\frac{3E}{4R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})

⇒\frac{3}{4}=1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒\frac{1}{4}=e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒log(\frac{1}{4})=\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒log(4)=\frac{t}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒t=log4\frac{L}{R}

now subs. \frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}

⇒t=log4\frac{2}{log2}

also log4=log2^{2}=2log2

⇒t=2log2\frac{2}{log2}

⇒t=4

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

A mover does 422 J of work pushing a crate 8.39 m. How much force did he exert?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

50.3N

Explanation:

Work done = force x distance

422J. = force x 8.39m

÷8.39 both side to get force

Force is 50.3N to 1 d.p.

Check:

50.3 x 8.39=422.017J

Same as 422J to 1 d.p
