A 1.0μF capacitor with an initial stored energy of 0.50 J is discharged through a 1.0MΩ resistor. (a) What is the initial charge

on the capacitor? (b) What is the current through the resistor when the discharge starts? Find an expression that gives, as a function of time t, (c) the potential difference V C ​ across the capacitor, (d) the potential difference V R ​ across the resistor, and (e) the rate at which thermal energy is produced in the resistor.

Answer:

A) q_o = 0.001 C

B) I = 0.001•e^(-t)

C) V_c = 1000e^(-t)

D) V_r = 1000e^(-t)

E) P = e^(-2t) watts

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Initial stored energy; U_o = 0.5 J

Capacitance; C = 1.0μF = 1 × 10^(-6) F

To find the charge, we will use the formula for energy in capacitors which is given by;

U = q²/2C

Thus, since we are dealing with initial energy, U is U_o and q is q_o

Making q the subject, we have;

q_o = √2CU_o

q_o = √(2 × 1 × 10^(-6) × 0.5)

q_o = 0.001 C

B) The charge as a function of time is expressed as;

q = q_o•e^(-t/RC)

Now the current is gotten by differentiating the charge function. Thus;

I = (q_o/RC)•e^(-t/RC)

Where;

R is Resistance = 1.0MΩ = 1 × 10^(6) Ω

C is capacitance = 1 × 10^(-6) F

(q_o/RC) is the initial current = 0.001/(1 × 10^(6) × 1 × 10^(-6))

(q_o/RC) = 0.001 A

Thus;

I = 0.001•e^(-t/(1 × 10^(6) × 1 × 10^(-6)))

I = 0.001•e^(-t)

C) Formula for potential difference across the capacitor is;

V_c = IR

I = 0.001•e^(-t)

R = 1 × 10^(6) Ω

Thus;

V_c = 1 × 10^(6) × 0.001•e^(-t)

V_c = 1000e^(-t)

D) Potential difference across the resistor will be the same as that across the capacitor because the resistor is connected in parallel to the capacitor.

Thus;

V_r = V_c = 1000e^(-t)

E) rate at which thermal energy is produced is basically the power.

Thus;

P = (V_r)²/R

P = (1000²e^(-2t))/1 × 10^(6)

P = e^(-2t) watts

A 0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900j/kg⋅∘c) is heated to 200∘c. the block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of co
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem, we should recall the law of conservation of energy. That is, the heat lost by the aluminium must be equal to the heat gained by the cold water. This is expressed in change in enthalpies therefore:

- ΔH aluminium = ΔH water

where ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)

The negative sign simply means heat is lost. Therefore we calculate for the mass of water (m):

- 0.5 (900) (20 – 200) = m (4186) (20 – 0)

m = 0.9675 kg

 

Using same mass of water and initial temperature, the final temperature T of a 1.0 kg aluminium block is:

- 1 (900) (T – 200) = 0.9675 (4186) (T – 0)

- 900 T + 180,000 = 4050 T

4950 T = 180,000

T = 36.36°C

 

The final temperature of the water and block is 36.36°C

You hold your physics textbook in your hand. (Assume that no other objects are in contact with the book.)
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

1) the correct answer is b and d

2) For force b its direction is vertical up

   for the force d its direction is vertical down

3) the correct answers are: a, c and d

4) Force a is vertical down , force c is vertical up and force d is vertical down

5) the correct answer which is b

Explanation:

In this exercise it is asked to identify the forces, fundamentally on the free there are the forces of gravity and the support force of the hand, with these facts we answer the questions

1) the correct answer is b and d

the hand acts on the book with a contact force and the Earth acts on the book with the force of gravity.

2) For force b its direction is vertical up

   for the force d its direction is vertical down

3) The forces on the hand are the weight of the book. The force of gravity due to the mass of the hand. As the hand is in balance, there must be a force applied by the arm to keep the hand in position; assuming the hand is in the air, if the hand is resting on the floor the force of the floor on the hand can perform this function

therefore the correct answers are: a, c and d

4) Force a is vertical down

    force c is vertical up

   force d is vertical down

5) The action and reaction forces are forces of equal magnitude, each applied to one of the bodies, we have

* the force of the hand on the free and its reaction the force of the book on the hand

* The force of the Earth on the book and the hand, giving the weight of each one and the relationship is the force of the book and the hand on the Earth

the correct answer which is b
