A student uses a meter to measure 120 coulombs flowing through a circuit in 60 seconds. what is the current in this circuit?

Keith_Richards [23]

A student uses a meter to measure 120 coulombs flowing through a circuit in 60 seconds. The electric current in this circuit will be 2 A

Current is a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms. The common symbol for current is the uppercase letter I. The standard unit is the ampere, symbolized by A.

current = charge / time

given

time = 60 seconds

charge = 120 Coulombs

current = Q / T = 120 / 60 = 2 A

A capacitor with plates separated by a distance d is charged to a potential difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconne

Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial separation of plate = d

final separation = 2d

The capacitance of the capacitor will reduce from C to C/2 because

capacitance = ε A / d

d is distance between plates.

As the batteries are disconnected , charge on the capacitor becomes fixed .

Initial charge on the capacitor

= Capacitance x potential difference

Q = C ΔV

Final charge will remain unchanged

Final charge = C ΔV

Final capacitance = C/2

Final potential difference = charge / capacitance

= C ΔV / C/2

= 2 ΔV

Potential difference is doubled after the pates are further separated.

Why it is advise to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper. Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely. Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

A pendulum of length L=36.1 cm and mass m=168 g is released from rest when the cord makes an angle of 65.4 degrees with the vert

pychu [463]

(a) -0.211 m

At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is

$\theta=65.4^{\circ}$

The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is

$L_y = L cos \theta = (36.1 cm)(cos 65.4^{\circ})=15.0 cm$

the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is

L = 36.1 cm

So the y-displacement of the mass is

$\Delta y = 15.0 cm - 36.1 cm = -21.1 cm = -0.211 m$

(b) 0.347 J

The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to

$\Delta U = mg \Delta y$

where we have

m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta y = 0.211 m$ is the vertical displacement of the pendulum

So, the work done by gravity is

$W=(0.168 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.211 m)=0.347 J$

And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.

(c) Zero

The work done by a force is:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula

$\theta=90^{\circ}, cos \theta = 0$

and so the work done is zero.
