Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery,

or does it get stored somewhere in the capacitor?

The capacitor is used to store electric charge.That is what makes capacitors special. <span>
The charge that flows into the capacitor is stored on the plate of the capacitor that the source voltage is connected to. </span>When current flows into a capacitor, the charges get “stuck” on the plates because they can’t get past the insulating dielectric. One plate is positively charged and the other negatively <span>The stationary charges on these plates create an </span>electric field. <span>When charges group together on a capacitor like this, the cap is storing electric energy just as a battery might store chemical energy.</span>

What is the voltage across a semiconductor bar if the current through it is 0.17 A? The electron concentration in the bar is 2.7

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The voltage across a semiconductor bar is 0.068 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 0.17 A

Electron concentration $n= 2.7\times10^{18}\ cm^{-3}$

Electron mobility $\mu=1000 cm^2/Vs$

Length = 0.1 mm

Area = 500 μm²

We need to calculate the resistivity

Using formula of resistivity

$\sigma=n\times q\times \mu$

$\rho=\dfrac{1}{\sigma}$

Put the value into the formula

$\rho=\dfrac{1}{2.7\times10^{18}\times10^{6}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times1000\times10^{-4}}$

$\rho=2\ \mu \Omega m$

We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

$R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

$R=\dfrac{2\times10^{-6}\times0.1\times10^{-3}}{500\times(10^{-6})^2}$

$R=0.4\ \Omega$

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

$V= IR$

Put the value into the formula

$V=0.17\times0.4$

$V=0.068\ V$

Hence, The voltage across a semiconductor bar is 0.068 V.

tester [92]

It is given that an<span> airplane is flying through a thundercloud at a height of 2000 m.
</span><span>
Since the parity of charges is opposite and the airplane lies between the two charges and both the electric fields are in the same direction at the plane. Therefore, the magnitudes of the electric field at the aircrafts will add up.
Now, check the image to see the calculations:

Four copper wires of equal length are connected in series. Their cross-sectional areas are 0.7 cm2 , 2.5 cm2 , 2.2 cm2 , and 3 c

Travka [436]

Answer:

22.1 V

Explanation:

We are given that

$A_1=0.7 cm^2=0.7\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$A_2=2.5 cm^2=2.5\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$A_3=2.2 cm^2=2.2\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$A_4=3 cm^2=3\times 10^{-4} m^2$

Using $1cm^2=10^{-4} m^2$

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

In series

$R=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4$

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A_1}+\frac{\rho l}{A_2}+\frac{\rho l}{A_3}+\frac{\rho l}{A_4}$

$R=\frac{\rho l}{\frac{1}{A_1}+\frac{1}{A_2}+\frac{1}{A_3}+\frac{1}{A_4}}$

Substitute the values

$R=\rho A(\frac{1}{0.7\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{2.2\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{3\times 10^{-4}})$

$R=\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)$

$V=145 V$

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{145}{\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)}$

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire= $IR=I\times \frac{\rho l}{A_2}$

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire= $\frac{145}{\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)}\times \frac{\rho l}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}=22.1 V$

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire=22.1 V
