Answer:

IF the price of chocolate increases, THEN the amount of chocolate people buy decreases

Explanation:

In a scientific investigation, an observation is first made. Based on this observation, a scientific question is then asked. However, a HYPOTHESIS is given next to explain the question asked. A hyothesis is a testable explanation given to solve an observed problem or provide a possible answer to a question.

The hypothesis must be subject to testing via EXPERIMENTATION. A hypothesis usually goes in an IF, THEN format. In this case with the testable question: How does price affect the amount of chocolate people buy?

A hypothesis that can explain this question is: IF the price of chocolate increases, THEN the amount of chocolate people buy decreases.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance

maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = $X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL$

where

R = resistance

$X_{L} = Inductive Reactance$

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}$

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ $\frac{1}{x}$

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

$Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}$

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

$\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}$

$\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}$

${R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})$

${R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})$

Solving the above eqn:

$X_{C} = 4R$

What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes

mr Goodwill [35]

The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time $\Delta t$ :
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
$\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s$
the charge is
$Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C$

One electron has a charge of $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$ , therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
$N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23}$ electrons
