Answer:

As the voltage increases, the current flowing through the circuit increases while the resistance of the resistor remains constant.

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage.

V = IR

where;

I is the current

R is the resistance

V is the applied voltage

Based on this law (Ohm's law), as the voltage increases, the current flowing through the circuit increases while the resistance of the resistor remains constant.

<span>You are given a circuit that contains a 6.0-v battery, a 4.0 ohm resistor, a 0.60 micro farad capacitor, an ammeter, and a switch all in series. You are asked to find the current reading after the switch is closed. Apply ohms law where V = IR where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistor.</span>

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 6 volts / 4 ohms
I = 1.5A

When the switch is closed, the cathode side plate begins to fill up with electrons when it was originally empty before the switch was closed. When it fills up the cathode side of the circuit, the current decreases. And when the capacitor cannot hold more electrons, the current will stop. The higher the capacitance, the higher is the capacity to store electrons.

First of all, we need to convert the angular speed (1200 rpm) from rpm to rad/s:

$\omega = 1200 \frac{rev}{min} \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=125.6 rad/s$
