MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Xc = (0.467 - 0.427j)R

Explanation:

Since the resistance in the circuit is R, the reactance of the inductor is XL and the reactance of the capacitor is XC, then the impedance of the circuit is

Z = √[R² + (XL - XC)²]

Since the inductive reactance XL equals the resistance R, we have that

Z = √[R² + (XL - XC)²]

Z = √[R² + (R - XC)²]

Thus, the current in the circuit is thus I = V/Z = V/√[R² + (R - XC)²]

Now, when the plate separation of the parallel plate capacitor is reduced to one-half its original value, the current doubles. Also, when the plate separation is reduced to half, the capacitance doubles since C ∝ 1/d where C is capacitance and d separation between the plates. Since the capacitance doubles, the new reactance XC' is twice the initial reactance XC. So, XC' = 2XC. Thus the new impedance is thus

Z' = √[R² + (R - XC')²]

Z' = √[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

The new current is I' = V/Z' = V/√[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

Since the current doubles, I' = 2I.

V/√[R² + (R - 2XC)²] = 2V/√[R² + (R - XC)²]

1/√[R² + (R - 2XC)²] = 2/√[R² + (R - XC)²]

√[R² + (R - XC)²] = 2√[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

squaring both sides, we have

[R² + (R - XC)²] = 4[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

expanding the brackets, we have

[R² + R² - 2RXC + XC²] = 4[R² + R² - 4RXC + 4XC²]

[2R² - 2RXC + XC²] = 4[2R² - 4RXC + 4XC²]

2R² - 2RXC + XC² = 8R² - 16RXC + 16XC²

collecting like terms, we have

16RXC - 2RXC + XC² - 16XC² = 8R² - 2R²

14RXC - 15XC² = 6R²

15XC² - 14RXC + 6R² = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find XC, we have

$XC = \frac{-(-14R) +/- \sqrt{(-14R)^{2} - 4 X 15 X 6R^{2} } }{2 X 15}\\= \frac{-(-14R) +/- \sqrt{196R^{2} - 360R^{2} } }{30}\\ \\= \frac{14R +/- \sqrt{- 164R^{2} } }{30}\\ \\= \frac{14R +/- 12.81Ri }{30}\\\\= 0.467R +/- 0.427Ri$

Since it is capacitive, we take the negative part.

So, Xc = (0.467 - 0.427j)R

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 3.7 V/m and points eastwar

UNO [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = $1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T$ (eastwards)

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of electric field, E = 3.7 V/m

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. We need to find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at this instant.

The relation between the magnetic field and the electric field of the plane electromagnetic wave is given by :

$B=\dfrac{E}{c}$

c is the speed of light

$B=\dfrac{3.7}{3\times10^8}\\\\B=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T$

So, the magnetic field is $1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T$ . The direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the electric field and the direction of wave propagation. Hence, the direction of magnetic field is eastward.

What is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 0.35 m?

azamat

Answer:

87.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

$v=\lambda f$

where

v is the wave speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

$f=250 Hz$ is the frequency

$\lambda=0.35 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.35 m)(250 Hz)=87.5 m/s$

You are standing 2.5m directly in front of one of the two loudspeakers. They are 3.0m apart and both are playing a 686Hz tone in

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

distance from speaker is 17.87 m

Explanation:

given data

distance from loudspeaker = 2.5 m

distance between loudspeaker = 3.0 m

room temperature = 20c

wavelength f = 686Hz

to find out

what distances from the speaker

solution

we know sound velocity c = 331.5 + 0.6 × 20c = 343.5

so wavelength of sound λ = c / f

wavelength = 343.5 / 686 = 0.5 m

when the difference in distance of speaker destructive interference will be

d = λ/2 × (2n-1)

for n = 1, 2 3 4 ..

d = 0.5/2 × (2n-1)

d = 0.250 , 0.75 , 1.25 , 1.750............ for n = 1, 2 3 .............

so

for d = 0.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x1)$ = 0.250

0.5 x1 = 7.6875

x1 = 15.375 m

for d = 0.75

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x2)$ = 0.75

1.5 x2 = 4.6875

x2 = 3.125 m

for d = 1.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x3)$ = 1.250

2.5 x2 = 1.1875

x3 = 0.475 m

for d = 1.750

x4 will be negative so we stop here

so the distance from speaker here is given below

distance = 2.5 + x

here x = 0.475 , 3.125 and 15.375 so

distance 1 = 2.5 + 0.475 = 2.975 m

distance 2 = 2.5 + 3.125 = 5.625 m

distance 3 = 2.5 + 15.375 = 17.875 m

final distance from speaker is 17.87 m
