Varvara68 [4.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The Current Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Charge Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

Potential difference Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃

The total capacitance Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

Explanation:

According to the attached image;

For parallel arrangements of capacitors, the current flowing through each of the capacitors sums up to the total current flowing through the circuit;

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Also the charge storage by each capacitor sums up to give the total charge stored;

Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

The potential difference across each of the capacitors are the same and equal to the total voltage across the circuit;

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃

The total capacitance equals the sum of the capacitances of each of the capacitors;

Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.655\times 10^{13}\ photons

Explanation:

Area of the solar sail = A = 30 m2

Solar constant = I = 1388 W/m2

Planck's constant = h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m²kg/s

Speed of light = c = 3×10⁸ m/s

Wavelength of light = \lambda = 570 nm

Pressure from radiation

P=2\frac{I}{c}\\\Rightarrow P=2\frac{1388}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow P=9.253\times 10^{-6}\ W

Energy of a photon

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{570\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow E=3.487\times 10^{-19}\ J

Number of photons

n=\frac{P}{E}\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{9.253\times 10^{-6}}{3.487\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=2.655\times 10^{13}\ photons

Number of photons is 2.655\times 10^{13}\ photons
