Suppose that a capacitor has parallel circular plates with radius R = 75.0 mm and separation 4.1 mm. Suppose also that a sinusoidal potential difference with a maximum value of 160 V and a frequency
Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different directions. Ricardo walks 27.0 in a direction 60.0 west of north. Jane wal
Motion with a constant, nonzero acceleration is not uncommon in the world around us. Falling (or thrown) objects and cars starting and stopping approximate this type of motion. It is also the type
The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power it can safely dissipate without getting too hot. Suppose you have a set of 5.30 Omega, 10.8 Omega, and 20.1 Omega resistors, all rated at 2.40 W.
