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.

Emerging adults are typically financially independent from their parents.<br> True or false?
zmey [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to USA today "Though nearly 60% of the 18 to 21 year olds surveyed said they have a job, and 70% of the 22 to 26 year olds said the same, many seem to rely on mom and dad to fund non-essential expenses. Nearly 75% of the 18 to 21 year olds and more than 40% of 22 to 26 year olds said their parents pay their monthly cell phone bill. Just 54% of 22 to 26 year olds own or lease their own car; and 43% of 22 to 26 year olds are living at home with their parents."

Natural gas, a nonrenewable fossil fuel, is often seen as an alternative fuel in the worldwide transition to a renewable energy
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) Natural gas burns more efficiently and cleanly than other sources of carbon-based fossil fuels, thus contributing to a reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Although fossil fuels such as coal and oil have carbon content, natural gas also has it in smaller proportions, which is why it is a good idea to use it as a transitional fuel. Although natural gas does not have the same specific heat as gasoline, its production is simpler since it does not require the expensive refining processes such as petroleum derivatives, which is why its production is more efficient.

Another facility is the amount of natural gas that is obtained from oil wells, this can be extracted and stored efficiently to prevent its spread into the atmosphere.
