Answer:

alpha

Explanation:

As unstable nuclei breaks into some other nuclei in order to attain stability. We will have three type of nuclei decay as following

1). Alpha Decay = it is positively charged high speed helium nuclei which will have energy in form of kinetic energy. Since these are heavy nuclei so penetration power of them is small and they are positively charged

2) Beta Decay = In this type of decay we will have negatively charged electrons released by the unstable nuclei and they move with high energy as they are of lesser mass. Penetration power of beta is more than alpha

3) Gamma Decay = It is neutral and massless photons which contains high energy. Penetration power of gamma is highest among all.

So here as we know that radiation particle is deflected towards negative terminal so it must be a positive particle so here correct answer must be

alpha

The correct answer would be the first option. Based on the given description above, the type of radiation that is being emitted is ALPHA RADIATION. Alpha radiation is the type of radiation having the lowest penetrative power. Take note that <span>Gamma is stronger than Beta is stronger than Alpha. Hope this answer helps. Have a great day!</span>

1. Why should you use scientific notation when writing big numbers?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

It helps the answer look clean. It also makes the work easier to work with.

Explanation:

Instead of writing a lot of zeros, all you have to do is add exponents to the number to show how much the decimal moved.

A series RLC circuit consists of a 52.0 Ω resistor, a 4.80 mH inductor, and a 330 nF capacitor. It is connected to an oscillator
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

(G) 75.11 ohm

(H) 0.08 A

(I) 46.2 degree

Explanation:

R = 52 ohm

L = 4.8 m H = 4.8 x 106-3 H

C = 330 nF = 330 x 10^-9 F

Vo = 6 V

(G)

f = 5000 Hz

Let the impedance is Z.

X_{L}= 2 \pi fL = 2 \times 3.14\times 5000\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=150.72 ohm

X_{c}= \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14\times 5000\times 330\times 10^{-9}}=96.51 ohm

Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+\left ( X_{L}-X_{c} \right )^{2}}

Z=\sqrt{52^{2}+\left (150.72-96.51)^{2}}=75.11 ohm

(H) Let Io be the peak current

I_{0}=\frac{V_{0}}{Z}=\frac{6}{75.11}=0.0798 A = 0.08 A

(I) Let Ф be the phase angle

tan\phi = \frac{X_{L}-X_{C}}{R}

tan\phi =\frac{150.72-96.51}}{52}=1.0425

Ф = 46.2 degree
