Chapter 21: Q77PE (page 778)

(a) Calculate the capacitance needed to get an \(RC\)time constant of \(1.00 \times {10^3}\;s\) with a \(0.100 - \Omega \) resistor. (b) What is unreasonable about this result?(c) Which assumptions are responsible?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Capacity is \(10000\;F\).
  2. If we know that the earth's capacity is finite, the capacity required is irrational.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of RC constant and resistance.

RC time constant: This measurement informs us how long it will take a cap to charge to a particular voltage level.

Anything that prevents current flow is referred to as "resistance" in this context.

02

Given Information.

  • \(RC\) time constant is: \(1.00 \times {10^3}{\rm{ }}s\)
  • Resistor: \(0.100 - \Omega \).
03

Step 3:Calculate the capacity needed.

a.

We can calculate the capacity needed to have a time constant of \({10^3}\;s\):

\(\begin{align}{}C = \frac{\tau }{R} = \frac{{{{10}^3}}}{{0.1}}\\C = 10000\;F\end{align}\)

Hence, Capacity is \(10000\;F\).

04

Explanation of solution.

(b)

Unreasonable is the capacity needed if we know that earth's capacity is \(1F\).

If you wish to take a picture of a bullet traveling at 500 m/s , then a very brief flash of light produced by an discharge through a flash tube can limit blurring. Assuming 1.00 mm of motion during one RCconstant is acceptable, and given that the flash is driven by a 600-mFcapacitor, what is the resistance in the flash tube?

To measure currents in Figure \({\rm{21}}{\rm{.49}}\), you would replace a wire between two points with an ammeter. Specify the points between which you would place an ammeter to measure the following: (a) the total current; (b) the current flowing through \({{\rm{R}}_{\rm{1}}}\); (c) through \({{\rm{R}}_{\rm{2}}}\) ; (d) through \({{\rm{R}}_{\rm{3}}}\) . Note that there may be more than one answer to each part.

Given a battery, an assortment of resistors, and a variety of voltage and current measuring devices, describe how you would determine the internal resistance of the battery.

Refer to Figure 21.7and the discussion of lights dimming when a heavy

appliance comes on. (a) Given the voltage source is 120 V, the wire resistance is0.400惟,and the bulb is nominally 75.0W , what power will the bulb dissipate if a total of 15.0 Apasses through the wires when the motor comes on? Assume negligible change in bulb resistance. (b) What power is consumed by the motor?
