A student makes a homemade resistor from a graphite pencil 5.00 cm long, where the graphite is 0.05 mm in diameter. The resistivity of the graphite is rho=1.38×10−5Ω/mrho=1.38×10−5Ω/m . The homemade resistor is place in series with a switch, a 10.00-mF uncharged capacitor and a 0.50-V power source. (a) What is the RC time constant of the circuit? (b) What is the potential drop across the pencil 1.00 s after the switch is closed?

Answer:

(a) RC time constant of the circuit is 6.9 × 10⁻⁶ ms

(b) The potential drop across the capacitor 1.00 s after the switch is closed is 0 V

Explanation:

The given parameters are

The length of the graphite pencil, L = 5.00 cm

The diameter of the graphite, D = 0.05 mm

The resistivity of the graphite, ρ = 1.38 × 10⁻⁵ Ω/m

The capacitance of the capacitor, C = 10.0 mF

The voltage of the power source, V = 0.50-V

(a) The RC time constant of the circuit, τ, is given as follows;

τ = R × C

Where;

R = The resistance of the graphite = L × ρ

C = The capacitance of the capacitor

∴ R = 5.00 cm × 1.38 × 10⁻⁵ Ω/m = 6.9 × 10⁻⁷ Ω

RC time constant of the circuit, τ = 6.9 × 10⁻⁷ Ω × 10.0 mF = 6.9 × 10⁻⁶ ms

RC time constant of the circuit, τ = 6.9 × 10⁻⁶ ms

(b) The potential drop after t = 1.00 s is given as follows;

[tex]i = \dfrac{V}{R} \cdot e^{-\dfrac{t}{R\cdot C} }[/tex]

Where;

I = The current in the circuit

V = The voltage in the circuit = 0.50 V

R = resistance in the circuit = 6.9 × 10⁻⁷ Ω

C = The series capacitance = 10.0 mF

t = The time taken = 1.00 s

Plugging in the variable values, gives;

[tex]I = \dfrac{0.5}{6.9 \times 10^{-7}} \cdot e^{-\dfrac{1.00}{6.9 \times 10^{-7}\times 10.0 \ mF} } = 0[/tex]

V(1) = I·R = 0 × R = 0

The potential drop across the capacitor 1.00 s after the switch is closed, V(1)  = 0 V

A spinning wheel on a fireworks display is initially rotating in a counterclockwise direction. The wheel has an angular acceleration of -4.20 rad/s2. Because of this acceleration, the angular velocity of the wheel changes from its initial value to a final value of -26.0 rad/s. While this change occurs, the angular displacement of the wheel is zero. (Note the similarity to that of a ball being thrown vertically upward, coming to a momentary halt, and then falling downward to its initial position.) Find the time required for the change in the angular velocity to occur.
