Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel

A 0.9 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V. The wires connecting the capacitor to the battery are then di
jeyben [28]

Answer:

3.6μF

Explanation:

The charge on the capacitor is defined by the formula

q = CV

because the charge will be conserved

q₁ = C₁V₂

q₂ = C₂V₂ where C₂ V₂ represent the charge on the newly connected capacitor  and the voltage drop across the two capacitor will be the same

q = q₁ + q₂ = C₁V₂ + C₂V₂

CV = CV₂ + C₂V₂

CV - CV₂ = C₂V₂

C ( V - V₂) = C₂V₂

C ( V/ V₂ - V₂ /V₂) = C₂

C₂ = 0.9 ( 10 /2) - 1) = 0.9( 5 - 1) = 3.6μF
