What is the function of a capacitor in an electric circuit

1 answer:

7 0

Capacitors function is to store up electricity and release it when the current is flowing. When there is no current, Capacitors still have electricity stored in them and can be discharged accidentally if something conductive touches them.

A 545-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height above Earth equal to Earth's mean radius. (a) Find the satelli

Art [367]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

centripetal force acting on satellite = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

gravitational force = $\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

equating both the above equation

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}$

v = 5578.5 m/s

b) $T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}$

$T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}$

T = 14416.92 s

$T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr$

T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

$F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}$

F = 5202 N

A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward fo

kicyunya [14]

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:

∑ τ = 0

Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:

• at the left end,

τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m

• at the right end,

τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m

• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,

τ = + (300 N) d

Then

∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0

⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m

⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m

A loop rests in the plane of a page of textbook while a magnetic field is directed into the page. A clockwise current is induced

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

When the magnetic field is tilted so it is no longer perpendicular to the page.

When the magnetic field gets stronger.

When the size of the loop decreases.

Explanation:

According to the Faraday-Lenz law, the change of the magnetic flux over time causes an induced current, this flux is given by:

$\Phi_B=BScos\theta$

Therefore, there will be a variable magnetic flux, when the magnitude of the magnetic field (B) changes over time, when the area of the loop (S) changes over time and / or when the angle ( $\theta$ ) between the field and the surface vector changes over time.
