Answer: B.
Capacitors prevent current from moving through a circuit
Explanation:
If a direct voltage is applied on the capacitor, no conduction current flows through the capacitor if its insulating medium is perfect insulator. This is due to the fact that there are no free charge carriers in such medium. Basically the real insulator contains very few charge carriers and therefore a very small leakage current passes in the capacitor depending on the conductivity of the insulator.
If an alternating voltage is applied on the capacitor, a displacement current passes through the capacitor irrespective of the insulating medium. This current is termed also the capacitive current. It flows because of changing electric displacement with time.
Answer:
<em>Infrared telescope and camera</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
An infrared telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies. The infrared radiation is one of the known forms of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared radiation is given off by a body possessing some form of heat. All bodies above the absolute zero temperature in the universe radiates some form of heat, which can then be detected by an infrared telescope, and infrared radiation can be used to study or look into a system that is void of detectable visible light.
Stars are celestial bodies that are constantly radiating heat. In order to see a clearer picture of the these bodies, <em>Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust,</em> and have located many more stellar components than any other types of telescope, especially in dusty regions of star clusters like the Trapezium cluster.
Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.
Answer: 10.58 C has flowed during the lightning bolt
Explanation:
Given that;
Time of flow t = 1.2 × 10⁻³
perpendicular distance r = 21 m
Magnetic field B = 8.4 x 10⁻⁵ T
Now lets consider the expression for magnetic field;
B = u₀I / 2πr
the current flow is;
I = ( B × 2πr ) / u₀
so we substitute
I = ( (8.4 x 10⁻⁵) × 2 × 3.14 × 21 ) / 4π ×10⁻⁷
= 0.01107792 / 0.000001256
= 8820 A
Hence the charge flows during lightning bolt will be;
q = It
so we substitute
q = 8820 × 1.2 × 10⁻³
q = 10.58 C
therefore 10.58 C has flowed during the lightning bolt
