Answer:

I = 0.667 A

Explanation:

A capacitor behaves like a short circuit at t = 0 immediately after the switch is closed, therefore we can discard it from the equation, the resistance is given in watts or power units equivalent to current by voltage and the ammeter behave like a short circuit by nature.

Considering all of the above, the circuit looks like a battery in series with a resistor, therefore, we can use the power equation to solve the problem as follow:

P = I*V

4W = I*6V

I = 0.667 A

<span>You are given a circuit that contains a 6.0-v battery, a 4.0 ohm resistor, a 0.60 micro farad capacitor, an ammeter, and a switch all in series. You are asked to find the current reading after the switch is closed. Apply ohms law where V = IR where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistor.</span>

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 6 volts / 4 ohms
I = 1.5A

When the switch is closed, the cathode side plate begins to fill up with electrons when it was originally empty before the switch was closed. When it fills up the cathode side of the circuit, the current decreases. And when the capacitor cannot hold more electrons, the current will stop. The higher the capacitance, the higher is the capacity to store electrons.

A piece of rope is pulled by two people in a tug-of-war. each exerts a 400-n force. what is the tension in the rope?
Leokris [45]
Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.

Alan and Monica tested how fertilizer X affected the growth of a plant. Alan and Monica put 100 grams of fertilizer X in pot 1.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

D.

a control group

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment such as the one above, there is an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group is the group that receives the treatment while the control group does not receive any treatment. The control group helps the researcher to observe if the treatment had any significant effect.

In this case, it will help Alan and Monica to determine if fertilizer X actually had an effect on the plant. Therefore, the pot with o grams of fertilizer in it is the control group.
