3.32µF and 1.64µF    

Since, you haven't actually asked a question, I am going to make a guess on what the question is based upon the data provided. My educated guess is "What are the values of the two capacitors?"    

The formula for the Capacitive reactance is  

X = 1/(2*pi*f*C)  

where  

X = reactance  

f = frequency  

C = capactance    

Let's solve for C  

X = 1/(2*pi*f*C)  

CX = 1/(2*pi*f)  

C = 1/(2*pi*f*X)    

Now with the capacitors in parallel, we have a reactance of:  

I = V/X  

IX = V  

X = V/I  

X = 12.3/0.56  

X = 21.96428571    

So the capacitance is:  

C = 1/(2*pi*f*X)  

C = 1/(2*pi*1460*21.96428571)  

C = 4.96307x10^-6 = 4.96307 µF    

And with the capacitors in series we have a reactance of:  

X = V/I  

X = 12.3/0.124  

X = 99.19354839    

So the capacitance is:  

C = 1/(2*pi*f*X)  

C = 1/(2*pi*1460*99.19354839)  

C = 1.09896x10^-6 = 1.09896 µF    

Now we can setup two equations with 2 unknowns.  

4.96307 = x + y  

1.09896 = 1/(1/x + 1/y)    

y = 4.96307 - x  

1.09896 = 1/(1/x + 1/(4.96307 - x))  

1.09896 = 1/((4.96307 - x)/(x(4.96307 - x)) + x/(x(4.96307 - x)))  

1.09896 = 1/(((4.96307 - x)+x)/(x(4.96307 - x)))  

1.09896 = 1/(4.96307/(x(4.96307 - x)))  

1.09896 = x(4.96307 - x)/4.96307  

5.45422 = x(4.96307 - x)  

5.45422 = 4.96307x - x^2  

0 = 4.96307x - x^2 - 5.45422  

0 = -x^2 + 4.96307x - 5.45422    

We now have a quadratic equation. Use the quadratic formula to solve, getting roots of 3.320460477 and 1.642609523. You may notice that those 2 values add up to 4.96307. This is not coincidence. Those are the values of the two capacitors in µF. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives us 3.32µF and 1.64µF.

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat
irina [24]

Explanation:

The charge on the electron is, q=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

The electric field at a distance r from the electron is :

E=k\dfrac{q}{r^2}

Where

k is the electrostatic constant, k=\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}

We know that the electric field lines starts from positive charge and ends at the negative charge. Also, for a positive charge the field lines are outwards while for a negative charge the field lines are inwards.

So, the correct option is " the  electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of k\dfrac{q}{r^2}. Hence, this is the required solution.

If 5000Pa a pressure is exerted on an object with the contact area 0.04m^2. Calculate the mass of an object
Whitepunk [10]
  • Pressure = 5000 Pa
  • Contact Area = 0.04 m^2
  • Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
  • Let the force be F.
  • We know, Force = Pressure × Contact Area
  • Therefore, Force = 5000 Pa × 0.04 m/s^2
  • or, Force = 200 N
  • We know, force = mass × acceleration
  • Therefore, mass = force ÷ acceleration
  • or, mass = 200 N ÷ 9.8 m/s^2 = 20.4 Kg
