A 5-v battery is connected across the plates of a 2.0μF uncharged parallel plate capacitor. The charge on the capacitor after a long time is

A.

2.5μC

B.

10.0μC

C.

20.0μC

D.

50.0μC

Correct answer is B

Q = cv

= 2 x 10-6 x 5

= 10 x 10-6C

= 10.0μC

A wire of length 15m made of a material of resistivity 1.8 x 10-6Ωm has a resistance of 0.27Ω. Determine the area of the wire

A.

1.5 x 10-4m2

B.

1.0 x 10-4m2

C.

2.7 x 10-5m2

D.

7.3 x 10-6m2

Correct answer is B

Resistivity = Resiatance x Arealength

1.6 x 10-6 = 15×Area0.27

Area = 1.0 x 10-4m2

A.

1.6 x 10-11N

B.

1.6 x 10-14N

C.

1.6 x 10-16N

D.

1.0 x 10-16N

Correct answer is A

F = EQ

1.6 x 10-19 x 108

= 1.6 x 10-11N
