Answer:
A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.
Explanation:
When the capacitor is fully charged after long hours of charging , its potential becomes equal to the emf of the battery and its polarity is opposite to that of battery . Hence net emf becomes equal . The capacitor itself becomes a battery which is connected in the circuit with opposite polarity . This results in the net emf and current becoming zero . There is no charging current when the capacitor is fully charged .
Answer:
(E) Second law of thermodynamics
Explanation:
The second law of thermodynamics can be understood according to Clausius' words: In an isolated system, no process can occur if a decrease in the total entropy of the system is associated with it. These processes are associated with energy transformations, in which a variable is introduced, called entropy that indicates the notion of disorder. Therefore, in any isolated process, the disorder can only grow.
Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive
Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>
The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration . And energy is the capacity of doing work since power is work divided by time therefore change in potential energy divided by time is equal to the power of the object.
I just did this last semester... I know this is wave height!!
