So in the first example, when I move the switch to B, the capacitors are in series.
In the second example, however, the total capacitance is in parallel... so what is the difference?
Homework Statement
I have the circuit above.
When I have the switch at A, the capacitor C1 is charging at 100μF is at 10V.
I then discharge the capacitor by connecting the switch to B.
I was asked to calculate the time constant.
I thought the capacitors were in parallel but according to...
Homework Statement
A block of wood measures 2.2m by 2.5m with depth 3.6m with weight 102KN. When placed in water, how far will it sink?
g = 9.81 ms-2
density of water = 1000kg m-3
Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution
Volume = 2.2(2.5)(3.6) = 19.8m3
Mass = 102000 / 9.81 = 10398 kg...
Homework Statement
A concrete block of mass 25kg is placed on a smooth slope that makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. Ignoring the effects of air resistance, calculate
a) the acceleration of the block as it slides down (g = 9.81 ms-2)
b) the distance the block moves in 3 seconds...
