For the system of capacitors shown in Fig. E24.21, a potential difference of 25 V is maintained across ab.

(a) What is the equivalent capacitance of this system between a and b?

(b) How much charge is stored by this system?

(c) How much charge does the 6.5-nF capacitor store?

(d) What is the potential difference across the 7.5-nF capacitor?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equivalent capacitance for the system is 19.29nF

The net charge stored in the system is 482.35nC

The charge is stored across the 6.5nF register is 162.5nC

The potential difference across terminals (a,b) is 25Vb

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

Given capacitors as shown in the figure.

The equivalent equation for the three capacitors in the middle

To get the equivalent capacitance for the system we add the three capacitance

02

Step 2:

b) The net charge is

03

Step 3:

C) The charge is stored across the 6.5nF register.

04

Step 4:

The potential difference across terminals (a,b) is same as they are connected in parallel.

A beam of protons traveling at 1.20 km/s enters a uniform magnetic field, traveling perpendicular to the field. The beam exits the magnetic field, leaving the field in a direction pependicurlar to its original direction (Fig. E27.24). The beam travels a distance of 1.10 cm while in the field. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

When a resistor with resistance Ris connected to a 1.50-V flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 W of electrical power. (Throughout, assume that each battery has negligible internal resistance.) (a) What power does the resistor consume if it is connected to a 12.6-V car battery? Assume that Rremains constant when the power consumption changes. (b) The resistor is connected to a battery and consumes 5.00 W. What is the voltage of this battery?

The heating element of an electric dryer is rated at 4.1 kW when connected to a 240-V line. (a) What is the current in the heating element? Is 12-gauge wire large enough to supply this current? (b) What is the resistance of the dryer’s heating element at its operating temperature? (c) At 11 cents per kWh, how much does it cost per hour to operate the dryer?

The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes10.20 V . (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?

A 140-g ball containing excess electrons is dropped into a 110-m vertical shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, the ball suddenly enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field that has magnitude 0.300 T and direction from east to west. If air resistance is negligibly small, find the magnitude ond direction of the force that this magnetic field exerts on the ball just as it enters the field.
