Explanation:

Given that,

The voltages across them are 40,50 and 60 volts respectively, and the charge on each condenser is 6×10⁻⁸ C.

(a) Capacitance of capacitor 1,

$C_1=\dfrac{Q}{V_1}\\\\C_1=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{40}\\\\C_1=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_1=1.5\ nF$

Capacitance of capacitor 2,

$C_2=\dfrac{Q}{V_2}\\\\C_2=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{50}\\\\C_2=1.2\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_2=1.2\ nF$

Capacitance of capacitor 3,

$C_3=\dfrac{Q}{V_3}\\\\C_3=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{60}\\\\C_3=1\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_3=1\ nF$

(b) The equivalent capacitance in series combination is :

$\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{C_1}+\dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}\\\\\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{1}\\\\C=0.4\ nF$

Hence, this is the required solution.

In a particular metal, the mobility of the mobile electrons is 0.0033 (m/s)/(N/C). At a particular moment, the electric field ev

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

the average drift speed of the mobile electrons in the metal is 1.089 x 10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mobility of the mobile electrons in the metal, μ = 0.0033 (m/s)/(N/C)

the electric field strength inside the cube of the metal, E = 0.033 N/C

The average drift speed of the mobile electrons in the metal is calculated as;

v = μE

v = 0.0033 (m/s)/(N/C) x 0.033 N/C

v = 1.089 x 10⁻⁴ m/s.

Therefore, the average drift speed of the mobile electrons in the metal is 1.089 x 10⁻⁴ m/s.

If a current is two amps and the resistance is 3 ohms, how much voltage was needed?

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current, $I=2 A$ , and the resistance, $R=3 \Omega$ , therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:

$V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V$

A mass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. Initially, the mass is released from rest fro

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The equation of motion is $x(t)=-$ $\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}$

Explanation:

Lets calculate

The weight attached to the spring is 24 pounds

Acceleration due to gravity is $32ft/s^2$

Assume x , is spring stretched length is ,4 inches

Converting the length inches into feet $x=\frac{4}{12} =\frac{1}{3}feet$

The weight (W=mg) is balanced by restoring force ks at equilibrium position

mg=kx

$W=kx$ ⇒ $k=\frac{W}{x}$

The spring constant , $k=\frac{24}{1/3}$

= 72

If the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position by an amount x, then the differential equation is

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt} +kx=0$

$\frac{3}{4} \frac{d^2x}{dt} +72x=0$

$\frac{d^2x}{dt} +96x=0$

Auxiliary equation is, $m^2+96=0$

$m=\sqrt{-96}$

= $\frac{+}{} i4\sqrt{6}$

Thus , the solution is $x(t)=c_1cos4\sqrt{6t}+c_2sin4\sqrt{6t}$

$x'(t)=-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6t}+c_2$ $4\sqrt{6}$ $cos4\sqrt{6t}$

The mass is released from the rest x'(0) = 0

$=-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6(0)}+c_2$ $4\sqrt{6}$ $cos4\sqrt{6(0)}$ =0

$c_2$ $4\sqrt{6} =0$

$c_2=0$

Therefore , $x(t)=c_1$ $cos 4\sqrt{6t}$

Since , the mass is released from the rest from 4 inches

$x(0)= -4$ inches

$c_1 cos 4\sqrt{6(0)} =-\frac{4}{12}$ feet

$c_1=-\frac{1}{3}$ feet

Therefore , the equation of motion is $-\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}$

A 20 metric ton train moves toward the south at 50 m/s. At what speed must it travel to have four times its original momentum

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

200 m/s

Explanation:

as momentum is a product of mass and speed, and mass is not changing, four times the speed will result in four times the momentum.

p = mv

4p = m(4v)

A 41-turn square coil of area 0.074 m2 and a 123-turn circular coil are both placed perpendicular to the same changing magnetic

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h3>The area of second coil is ≅ 0.025 $m^{2}$ </h3>

Explanation:

Given :

No. of turns in the first coil $N_{1} = 41$

No. of turns in the second coil $N_{2} = 123$

Area of first coil $A_{1} = 0.074 m^{2}$

According to the law of electromagnetic induction,

Induced emf = $-N \frac{d \phi}{dt}$

Where $\phi =$ magnetic flux.

Since given in question emf of both coil is same so we compare above equation.

$-\frac{N_{1} d\phi _{1} }{dt_{1} } = -\frac{N_{2} d\phi _{2} }{dt_{2} }$

$\frac{N_{1} A_{1} dB_{1} }{dt_{1} } = \frac{N_{2} A_{2} dB_{2} }{dt_{2} }$

$A_{2} = \frac{N_{1} A_{1} }{N _{2} }$

$A_{2} = \frac{41 \times 0.074 }{123 }$

$A_{2} = 0.0246 = 0.025 m^{2}$

Therefore, the area of second coil is ≅ 0.025 $m^{2}$
