Chapter 4: Q60P (page 813)

Each combination of capacitors between points a and b in Fig. P24.60 is first connected across a 120V battery, charging the combination to 120 V. These combinations are then connected to make the circuits shown. When the switch S is thrown, a surge of charge for the discharging capacitors flows to trigger the signal device. How much charge flows through the signal device in each case?

Short Answer

Expert verified

QP=7.2脳10-3CQS=6.54脳10-4C

Step by step solution

01

Parameters.

C1=10渭FC2=20渭FC3=30渭FVab=210V

02

Computing the charge flow through the signal device in each case.

In parallel system the total capacitance is given by

C1+C2+C3=10+20+30=60渭F

The charge stored in the system is given by

Qt=CtVt=120脳60脳10-6=7.2脳10-3C

In series system the total capacitance is given by

1Ct=1C3+1C2+1C1=110+120+130=6011

The charge stored in the system is given by

Qs=CtVt=120脳4.45脳10-6=6.54脳10-4C

Therefore the total charge flow in each case is

QP=7.2脳10-3CQS=6.54脳10-4C.

Small aircraft often have 24 V electrical systems rather than the 12 V systems in automobiles, even though the electrical power requirements are roughly the same in both applications. The explanation given by aircraft designers is that a 24 V system weighs less than a 12 V system because thinner wires can be used. Explain why this is so.

A light bulb glows because it has resistance. The brightness of a light bulb increases with the electrical power dissipated in the bulb. (a) In the circuit shown in Fig. Q25.14a, the two bulbs A and B are identical. Compared to bulb A, does bulb B glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning. (b) Bulb B is removed from the circuit and the circuit is completed as shown in Fig. Q25.14b. Compared to the brightness of bulb A in Fig. Q25.14a, does bulb A now glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning

A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of12Athrough the body at25Vfor a very short time, usually3.0msabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?

A rule of thumb used to determine the internal resistance of a source is that it is the open circuit voltage divide by the short circuit current. Is this correct? Why or why not?

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80

min. Silver containsfree electrons per cubic meter. (a) What is the

current in the wire? (b) What is the magnitude of thedrift velocity of the

electrons in the wire?
