The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

A resistor with resistance R and an air-gap capacitor of capacitance C are connected in series to a battery (whose strength is "

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

a) Q = C*emf

b) Reduction in electric field strength and electric potential

c) Initial current through the resistor = emf/R

d) The final charge = K*C*emf

Explanation:

a) The resistors and capacitors are connected in series with the battery

Using Kirchoff's voltage law, sum of all voltages in the circuit is zero

Let $V_{R}$ = Voltage dropped across the Resistor

$V_{c}$ = Voltage dropped across the capacitor

Applying KVL;

$emf - V_{R} - V_{c} = 0\\$ .........................(1)

Since the connection is in series, the same current flow through the circuit

$V_{R} = IR\\Q = CV_{c} \\V_{c} = Q/C$

Putting $V_{c}$ and $V_{R}$ into equation (1)

$emf - IR - Q/C = 0$

At the final charge, the capacitor in fully charged, and current drops to zero due to equilibrium

$I = 0A\\emf = Q/C\\Q = C* emf$

b) Current starts running through the plate because as the sheet of plastic is inserted between the plates both the electric field intensity and the electric potential reduces. The charge also reduces, then current flows

c) The current through the resistor is the current through the entire circuit ( series connection)

$I = I_{o} \exp(\frac{-t}{RC} )\\At time the initial time, t\\t = 0\\ I_{o} = \frac{emf}{R} \\$
