The answer to this question is: it depends. It depends on the arrangement of the capacitors in a circuit: it can be either in series or in parallel. The difference is shown in the picture.

Capacitors are like batteries in a way that they store power from the source. It has some rules depending on the type of circuit. For parallel circuits, the voltage across each capacitor is equal. Therefore, V₁=V₂=V₃.

On the other hand, if the capacitors are arranged in series, the voltage across each capacitor should add up to the total voltage of the source. Therefore, V₁+V₂+V₃ = Total Voltage.

A 2. 0 μf and a 4. 0 μf capacitor are connected in series across an 8. 0-v dc source. what is the charge on the 2. 0 μf capacito

Nezavi [6.7K]

voltage across 2.0μf capacitor is 5.32v

Given:

C1=2.0μf

C2=4.0μf

since two capacitors are in series there equivalent capacitance will be

[tex] \frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{c1} + \frac{1}{c2} [/tex]

$c = \frac{c1 \times c2}{c1 + c2}$

$= \frac{2 \times 4}{2 + 4}$

=1.33μf

As the capacitance of a capacitor is equal to the ratio of the stored charge to the potential difference across its plates, giving: C = Q/V, thus V = Q/C as Q is constant across all series connected capacitors, therefore the individual voltage drops across each capacitor is determined by its its capacitance value.

Q=CV

given,V=8v

$= 1.33 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} \times 8$

$= 10.64 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}$

charge on 2.0μf capacitor is

$\frac{Qeq}{2 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }$

$= \frac{10.64 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }{2 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }$

=5.32v

A wind turbine is rotating counterclockwise at 0.626 rev/s and slows to a stop in 12.9 s. Its blades are 17.9 m in length. What

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

276.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The initial angular velocity of the turbine is

$\omega=0.626 rev/s \cdot 2\pi rad/rev =3.93 rad/s$

The length of the blade is

r = 17.9 m

So the centripetal acceleration is given by

$a=\omega^2 r$

At the instant t = 0,

$\omega=3.93 rad/s$

So the centripetal acceleration of the tip of the blades is

$a=(3.93 rad/s)^2 (17.9 m)=276.5 m/s^2$

How does mass and material type effect thermal energy transfer

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The mass contributes with the time of thermal energy transfer with respect to the material type but most importantly the material type will determine rate at which the material absorbs the transfer of heat or thermal energy by either three types, conduction, convection and radiation.
