An uncharged series RC circuit is to be connected across a battery. For each of the following changes, determine whether the tim
slavikrds [6]

a) Increase

b) Unchanged

c) Increase

Explanation:

a)

The charge on a capacitor charging in a RC circuit connected to a battery follows the exponential equation:

Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})

where

Q_0 = CV is the final charge stored in the capacitor, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage of the battery

t is the time

R is the resistance of the circuit

The capacitor reaches 90% of its final charge when

Q(t)=0.90Q_0

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find:

0.90Q_0 = Q_0(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})\\0.90=1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}\\e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}=0.10\\-\frac{t}{RC}=ln(0.10)\\t=-RCln(0.10)=2.30RC

We see that if we double the RC constant, then (RC)'=2(RC)

So the time taken will double as well:

t'=2.30(RC)'=2.30(2RC)=2(2.30RC)=2t

So, the answer is "increase"

b)

In this second part, the battery voltage is doubled.

According to the equation written in part a),

Q_0 =CV

this means also that the final charge stored on the capacitor will also double.

However, the equation that gives us the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its full charge is

t=2.30 RC

We see that this equation does not depend at all on the voltage of the battery.

Therefore, if the battery voltage is doubled, the final charge on the capacitor will double as well, but the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its charge will not change.

So the correct answer is

"unchanged"

c)

In this case, a second resistor is added in series with the original resistor of the circuit.

We know that for two resistors in series, the total resistance of the circuit is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

R=R_1+R_2

Since each resistance is a positive value, this means that as we add new resistors, the total resistance of the circuit increases.

Therefore in this problem, if we add a resistor in series to the original circuit, this means that the total resistance of the circuit will increase.

The time taken for the capacitor to reach 90% of its final charge is still

t=2.30 RC

As we can see, this time is directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit, R: therefore, if we add a resistor in series, the resistance of the circuit will increase, and therefore this time will increase as well.

So the correct answer is

"increase"

An atom of uranium 238 emits an alpha particle (an atom of He) and recoils with a velocity of 1.895 * 10^ 5 m/sec . With velocit
lora16 [44]

<u>Answer:</u> The velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of momentum, momentum can neither be created nor be destroyed until and unless, an external force is applied.

For a system:

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

where,

m_1\text{ and }v_1 = Initial mass and velocity

m_2\text{ and }v_2 = Final mass and velocity

We are given:

m_1=238u\\v_1=1.895\times 10^{5}m/s\\m_2=4u\text{ (Mass of }\alpha \text{ -particle)}\\v_2=?m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

238\times 1.895\times 10^5=4\times v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{238\times 1.895\times 10^5}{4}=1.127\times 10^7m/s

Hence, the velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

The vacuum pressure of a condenser is given to be 80 kpa. if the atmospheric pressure is 98 kpa, what is the gage pressure and a
dimaraw [331]

The absolute pressure is given by the equation,

P_{abs}=P_{atm}-P_{vac}

Here, P_{abs} is absolute pressure,P_{atm} is atmospheric pressure and P_{vac} is vacuum pressure.

Therefore,

P_{abs}=98 kPa-80 kPa=18kPa

The gage pressure is given by the equation,

P_{gage}=P_{abs}-P_{atm}.

Thus,

P_{gage}=18kPa-98 kPa=-80 kPa.

In kn/m^2,

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =18\ kN/m^2

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =-80\ kN/m^2.

In lbf/in2

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=2.6\ lbf/in^2

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=-11.6\ lbf/in^2

In psi,

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa})=2.610\ psi.

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa} )=-11.6030\ psi

In  mm Hg

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})= 135\ mm\ of\ Hg

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})=-600\ mm\ of\ Hg
