That scenario is a very clear demonstration of <em>Newton's Third law </em>of motion:

<em>For every action, there is an equal, opposite reaction.</em>

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. a) In terms of the time constant τ, how long is required fo

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{8}{9} \, q_0$ .

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Note that $\ln 9 = 2\,\ln 3$ , and that $\ln 8 = 3\, \ln 2$ .

Explanation:

In an RC circuit, a capacitor is connected directly to a resistor. Let the time constant of this circuit is $\tau$ , and the initial charge of the capacitor be $q_0$ . Then at time $t$ , the charge stored in the capacitor would be:

$\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ .

<h3>a)</h3>

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{8}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{8}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{8}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 8 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 8 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ .

<h3>b)</h3>

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{7}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{7}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 7 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 7 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ .

Which subatomic particle carries a positive charge?

Nookie1986 [14]

<span>The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.</span>
