Consider two capacitors with unequal capacitance connected in parallel to a battery. Which of the following statements are true?

Physics
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  1. The equivalent capacitance of the combination is greater than the capacitance of either of the capacitors.
  2. The voltage across each of the capacitors is the same.
  3. The sum of the charge stored on each capacitor is equal to the charge supplied by the battery.

Explanation:

The capacitance connected in parallel will have the same potentials across its ends. If the battery has a charge Q, it is divided among the capacitors.

That is,

                      Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃

But, the potential is shared equally as V. So, the individual capacitance of the equation has the form q₁ = C₁V , q₂ = C₂V, etc.

                   

So, in this case, when the effective capacitance is formulated, it would be

                          C = C₁ + C₂ + C₃     farad

Therefore, the true statements are

The equivalent capacitance of the combination is greater than the capacitance of either of the capacitors.

The potential across each of the capacitors is the same.

The charge supplied by the battery divided among the capacitors.

sertanlavr [38]
The asker of the second question needs a tutorial in radiometric dating. There is little likelihood that the daughter isotope has the same atomic weight as the parent isotope. To measure the mass isotopes doesn't tell us how many atoms of each exist. To get around that let's pretend — which will likely serve the purpose ineptly intended — that the values give an the particle ratio, 125:875. 

<span>The original parent isotope count was 125 + 875 = 1000. The remaining parent isotope is 125/1000 or 1/8. 1/8 = (1/2)^h, where h is the number of half-lives. </span>

<span>h = log (1/8) ÷ log(1/2) = 3 </span>

<span>And 3 half-lives • 150,000 years/half-life = 450,000 years.</span>

I am desperate to get to Denver, Colorado to catch the Denver Broncos
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

<em>The average speed needed is 68.4 mi/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Average Speed </u>

If an object travels a distance d in a time t regardless of the direction, the average speed is the quotient of the distance over the time:

\displaystyle V=\frac{d}{t}

The distance to get to Denver from the Hamilton Street Campus is d=1,778 miles. An estimated time of t=26 hours should be needed to cover that distance, thus you will need to travel at an average speed of:

\displaystyle V=\frac{1,778\ mi}{26\ h}

V = 68.4 mi/h

The average speed needed is 68.4 mi/h

If a quantity of heat equal to the magnitude of the change in mechanical energy of the water goes into the water, what is its in
Flauer [41]
Increase in temperature of water = 0.53 °C
Explanation:
Change in mechanical energy = Potential energy
Potential energy = mgh
Mass, m = Mass of 1 L water = 1 kg
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²
Height, h = 225 m
Potential energy = 1 x 9.81 x 225 = 2207.25 J
Because of this 2207.25 J water gets heated.
Heat energy, E = mcΔT
Mass, m = Mass of 1 L water = 1 kg
Specific heat of water, c = 4200 J/kg/C
Energy, E = 2207.25 J
Change in temperature, ΔT = ?
Substituting
2207.25 = 1 x 4200 x ΔT
ΔT = 0.53 °C
Increase in temperature of water = 0.53 °C

list all the storage forms of energy that forms of energy that you are familiar with. for each storage form, give an example of
ella [17]

Storage form of energy:

  • Potential energy
  • Nuclear energy
  • electrical energy
  • thermal energy
  • magnetic energy

Potential energy:

All stationary objects are having potential energy stored in it. This energy can be transferred in form of kinetic energy when it comes in the motion from rest. Example, An object placed at height h having potential energy in it. When it comes in motion from the rest the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy:

Nuclear energy is energy that is stored in nucleus of any element. Example, fusion reaction on sun gives earth solar energy.

Electric energy:

Electrical energy is due to movement of the electrical charges. Example, In elctrical batteries electrical energy is stored.

Thermal energy:

Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance that is transferred to other substance in the form of heat. Example, on heating water is a beaker stem energy is developed.

Magnetic energy:

Magnetic energy is the potential energy stored in the magnetic field. Example, using magnetic energy electric field is produced according to Faraday's law.
