2 Capacitors (c1 = 500mf) and (c2=300mf), are connected in parallel to a 10v d.c supply. Calculate the total capacitance of the circuit, and hence the total energy stored in the capacitors.

  1. Use the equation Ct = C1 + C2, 500mF + 300mF = 800mF or 800x10^-3F
    2) Appropriate equation is W=1/2 V^2 C
    W = (0.5)*(10^2)*800^-3 = 40J

What is the importance of the resultant force in a free-fall question?

The resultant force is firstly a key-word that any examiner will notice and so it will benefit your chance of getting the marks straight away. It helps us describe whether the forces are balanced or wheth...

How would you calculate the moment of a Force on a rigid object?

You would calculate the moment of a force on a object by first finding the distance of the force from the pivot point of the object. Following this, you would find the component of the force perpendicular...

A linear accelerator (LINAC) is used to accelerate protons at CERN before they are injected into the Large Hadron Collider. Explain with the aid of a diagram how the proton is accelerated by the LINAC.

A linear accelerator is built with several drift tubes that increase in length, at either end of each tube are electrodes that provide an alternating current. As a proton is a positively charged particle ...
