The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 100 volt potential difference is sudde
1 answer:
Explanation:
Data provided:
Area A = 10 cm×2 cm = 20×10⁻⁴ m²
Separation distance d between the plates = 1 mm = 1×10⁻³ m
Battery voltage, or emf = 100 V
Resistance = 1025 ohm
Solution:
In an RC circuit, the voltage across the plates varies with time t. At the outset, the voltage matches that of the battery, V₀ = emf = 100V. However, after a certain time t, both the resistance and capacitance alter this, leading to a final voltage V expressed as
Applying the natural logarithm to both sides,
(1)
Next, we can determine the capacitance using the plates' area.
C = ε₀A/d
=
= 18×10⁻¹²F
We can now find the time it takes for the voltage to drop from 100 to 55 V by substituting C, V₀, V, and R values into equation (1)
= -(1025Ω)(18×10⁻¹² F) ln( 1 - 55/100)
= 15×10⁻⁹s
= 15 ns

Thus, it can be concluded that
the temperature of the light bulb at 12.0 V is 7626.33 K.
Answer:
31.4 mm²
Explanation:
The ability of a telescope or eye to gather light can be expressed by the formula,
where d signifies the diameter of the pupil.
In bright daylight, the usual size of the pupil is 3 mm.
Conversely, in darkness, the diameter typically enlarges to 7 mm.
This indicates an increase in light-gathering capacity.
Thus, the amount of light the eye can capture is 31.4 mm².
