What is the difference between a direct current and an alternating current?

2 answers:

4 0

In direct current (DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one direction. Electric charge in alternating current (AC), on the other hand, changes direction periodically. The voltage in AC circuits also periodically reverses because the current changes direction.

Two identical parallel plate capacitors A and B connected to a battery of V volts w/ the switch S closed. The switch is now open

Basile [38]

The electrostatic energy stored in a capacitor with capacitance $C_0$ , with a voltage difference V applied to it, and without dielectric, is given by
$U_0 = \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2$
Now let's assume we fill the space between the two plates of the capacitor with a dielectric with constant k. The new capacitance of the capacitor is
$C_k = k C_0$
So, the energy stored now is
$U_k = \frac{1}{2}C_k V^2= \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2$

Therefore, the ratio between the energies stored in the capacitor before and after the introduction of the dielectric is
$\frac{U_k}{U_0}= \frac{ \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2 }{ \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2}= k$

When the switch is closed, what happens to the current in the circuit? (The intrinsic resistance of the inductor is zero.)

Hitman42 [59]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B.

When the switch is closed, the current instantaneously becomes 1.
