I attach a voltage source to a 45 mF capacitor until it is fully charged. I then take the voltage source away and discharge the

capacitor through a 120 Ω resistor in a basic RC circuit. If the initial current through the circuit during discharge is 0.5 A, what voltage did I apply to the capacitor to charge it?

Answer:

60 V

Explanation:

Let the potential on capacitor be V . This will be equal to voltage of the source .

During discharge this voltage of capacitor will create current .

V / 120 = .5

V = 60 V

So this would have been the voltage of the source . So voltage of source

= 60 V

Answer:

V=60\;volt\\

Explanation:

Given,

C=45\;mF\\R=120\;\Omega\\i=0.5\;A

By the ohm's law,

V=iR\\V=0.5times120\\V=60\;volt\\

1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same dimensions, but the space between the plates is filled with air in capacitor 1 and w
Aleks [24]

Explanation:

The capacitance in two parallel-plate capacitors is:

C=\frac{K\epsilon_oA}{d}

For air, we have K_1=1

For plastic, we have K_2=2.25

Hence:

C_1=\frac{K_1\epsilon_oA}{d_1}=\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_1}\\C_2=\frac{K_2\epsilon_oA}{d_2}=2.25(\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_2})

a) Recall that the potential difference between the plates is the same (V_1=V_2=V). The electric field is given by:

E_1=\frac{V_1}{d_1}=\frac{V}{d_1}\\E_2=\frac{V_2}{d_2}=\frac{V}{d_1}

The potential difference is defined as:

V_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}=V\\V_2=\frac{Q_2}{C_2}=V

Replacing:

E_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1d_1}\\E_2=\frac{Q_1}{C_1d_2}\\\\E_1d_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}\\E_2d_2=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}\\E_1d_1=E_2d_2\\\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{d_2}{d_1}

b) The energy is defined as:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

So:

U_1=\frac{1}{2}C_1V_1^2=\frac{1}{2}C_1V^2\\U_2=\frac{1}{2}C_2V_2^2=\frac{1}{2}C_2V^2\\U_1=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_1}V^2\\U_2=\frac{1}{2}\frac{2.25\epsilon_oA}{d_2}V^2\\\frac{0.88U_2d_2}{\epsilon_oA}=V^2\\\frac{2U_1d_1}{\epsilon_oA}=V^2\\\frac{0.88U_2d_2}{\epsilon_oA}=\frac{2U_1d_1}{\epsilon_oA}\\\frac{U_1}{U_2}=0.44\frac{d_2}{d_1}

Explain what surface tension is.
sergejj [24]
Surface tension<span> is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. for example, some objects can float on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insectsto run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of similar molecules, and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids.</span>

If we wish to expand (x + y) 8 , what is the coefficient of x 5 y 3 ? what is the coefficient of x 3 y 5 ?
Molodets [167]
We use the binomial theorem to answer this question. Suppose we have a trinomial (a + b)ⁿ, we can determine any term to be:

[n!/(n-r)!r!] a^(r) b^(n-r)

a.) For x⁵y³, the variables are: x=a and y=b. We already know the exponents of the variables. So, we equate this with the form of the binomial theorem.

r = 5
n - r = 3
Solving for n,
n = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, the coefficient is equal to:
Coefficient = n!/(n-r)!r! = 8!/(8-5)!8! = 56

b.) For x³y⁵, the variables are: x=a and y=b. We already know the exponents of the variables. So, we equate this with the form of the binomial theorem.

r = 3
n - r = 5
Solving for n,
n = 5 + 3 = 8

Therefore, the coefficient is equal to:
Coefficient = n!/(n-r)!r! = 8!/(8-3)!8! = 56
