Answer: Load carrying heavy vehicles have large number of wheels in order to reduce pressure on the contact patch on road. With large number of wheels, it becomes easy to distribute the entire pressure of loads in an even manner.

Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maxi

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons$

Explanation:

r = Rate of flow of charge = 20000 C/s

t = Time taken = 100 μS

Charge is given by

$Q=rt\\\Rightarrow Q=20000\times 100\times 10^{-6}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\ C$

The charge that flows between the ground and the cloud in this time is 2 C

Number of electrons is given by

$n_e=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n_e=\dfrac{2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n_e=1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons$

The number of electrons is $1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons$

Why do the compass needles change direction when the electric current is Flowing

zhenek [66]

Explanation:

Since compasses work by pointing along magnetic field lines, this means that there must be a magnetic field near the wire through which the current is flowing.

$T_1 = 1.48s$

Determine the time constant in (b)

First, we calculate the total capacitance (C1) in (a):

The upper two connections are connected serially:

So, we have:

$\frac{1}{C_{up}} = \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}$

Take LCM

$\frac{1}{C_{up}} = \frac{1+1}{C}$

$\frac{1}{C_{up}}= \frac{2}{C}$

Cross Multiply

$C_{up} * 2 = C * 1$

$C_{up} * 2 = C$

Make $C_{up}$ the subject

$C_{up} = \frac{1}{2}C$

The bottom two are also connected serially.

In other words, the upper and the bottom have the same capacitance.

So, the total (C) is:

$C_1 = 2 * C_{up}$

$C_1 = 2 * \frac{1}{2}C$

$C_1 = C$

The total capacitance in (b) is calculated as:

First, we calculate the parallel capacitance (Cp) is:

$C_p = C+C$

$C_p = 2C$

So, the total capacitance (C2) is:

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1}{C_p} + \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}$

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1}{2C} + \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}$

Take LCM

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1 + 2 + 2}{2C}$

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{5}{2C}$

Inverse both sides

$C_2 = \frac{2}{5}C$

Both (a) and (b) have the same resistance.

So:

We have:

Time constant is directional proportional to capacitance:

So:

$T\ \alpha\ C$

Convert to equation

$T\ =kC$

Make k the subject

$k = \frac{T}{C}$

$k = \frac{T_1}{C_1} = \frac{T_2}{C_2}$

$\frac{T_1}{C_1} = \frac{T_2}{C_2}$

Make T2 the subject

$T_2 = \frac{T_1 * C_2}{C_1}$

Substitute values for T1, C1 and C2

$T_2 = \frac{1.48 * \frac{2}{5}C}{C}$

$T_2 = \frac{1.48 * \frac{2}{5}}{1}$

$T_2 = \frac{0.592}{1}$

$T_2 = 0.592$

Hence, the time constance of (b) is 0.592 s

A small charged bead has a mass of 1.9 g . it is held in a uniform electric field e⃗ = (200,000 n/c, up). when the bead is relea

dmitriy555 [2]

As we know that when charge is released in electric field

It will have two forces on it

1. electrostatic force

2. gravitational force

now if the ball will accelerate upwards so we can say

net upward force = mass * acceleration

$qE - mg = ma$

$q*200000 - 1.9 * 10^{-3}* 9.8 = 1.9 * 10^{-3}* 15$

now we can find charge q on it by above equation

$q = 0.2356 * 10^{-6} C$

So above is the charge on the particle
