Explanation of Solution

Given:

Capacitor, C=12.5μF=12.5×106F

Resistor, R=75.0Ω

Voltage of the battery, V=50.0V

Formula used:

Charge on the capacitor in time t is given by,
  Q=C×V

Where,
Q= charge on the capacitor
C= capacitance
V = voltage
Energy stored in the capacitor is,
E=12CV2

Calculation:

Charge on the capacitor is given by,
  Q0=C×VQ0=12.5×106×50.0Q0=625×106C

  1. The new charge is given by.

Q=Q00.9Q0Q=0.1Q0Q=0.1×625×106Q=62.5×106C

Thus, new voltage is,
Vn=QCVn=62.5× 10 612.5× 10 6Vn=5V

Voltage of the capacitor in time t is given by,
  Vn=V(1e t RC)5=50.0×(1e t 75.0×12.5× 10 6 )1e t 75.0×12.5× 10 6 =0.1e t 75.0×12.5× 10 6 =0.90.04575=t75.0×12.5× 10 6t=9.8775×105s

  1. Energy stored in the capacitor is,
  2. E=12CV2E=0.5×12.5×106×50.0×50.0E=0.01562J

    Thus, new charge is,
    En=0.1×0.015625En=1.5625×103J

    So, new voltage is,
    En=12CVn2Vn= 2× E n CVn=15.81V

    Voltage of the capacitor in time t is given by,
      Vn=V(1e t RC)15.81=50.0×(1e t 75.0×12.5× 10 6 )1e t 75.0×12.5× 10 6 =0.3162e t 75.0×12.5× 10 6 =0.68380.3800=t75.0×12.5× 10 6t=3.56×104s

A storm cloud 200 m off the ground sits over a fish pond that is initially at 20 degrees celsius. The pond is defined to be at a voltage zero and the cloud found to be at 250 MV. A lightning strike carry 50 C of charge leaves the cloud and hits the pond. Assuming that all of the energy of the transferred charge is absorbed by the water, how many kg of water can be raised to 100 degrees and then boiled away?
