The girl in (Figure 1) has her hand on the sphere of a Van de Graaff generator that is at a potential of 400,000 V. She is standing on an insulating platform, so no current flows through her. But what happens if she touches something that is grounded? Is she still safe? (Figure 2) shows the equivalent circuit. CVDG = 20 pF represents the capacitance of the Van de Graaff sphere, CgirlCgirl = 100 pF is the capacitance of the girl's body, and R = 5.0 kΩ is the resistance of her body, from one hand to the other. The switch is closed when she touches ground.
Part A: What is the initial current at the instant the switch is closed? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Part B: What is the time constant for the current to decay? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Part C: Occupational safety experts have found that a shock is safe if the product of the voltage, the current, and the time the current is delivered is less than 13.5 V⋅A⋅s = 13.5 J. Estimate this product…
The figure above shows a circuit containing an electromotive force (a battery), a capacitor with a capacitance of C farads (F), and a resistor with a resistance of R ohms (Omega). The voltage drop across the capacitor is Q/C, where Q is the charge (in coulombs), so in this case Kirchhoff's Law gives
RI + (Q/C) = E(t)
since the current is I = (dQ/dt), we have
R(dQ/dt) + (1/C)Q= E(t)
Suppose the resistance is 30 ohms, the capacitance is 0.1 Farads, a battery gives a constant voltage of 40 volts, and the initial charge is Q(0)=0C.Find the charge and the current at time t.
Q(t)=?
I(t)=?
In a circuit consisting of a 9 V battery, about 20 cm of 12-gauge copper wire, and a 60 W light bulb, which of the following correctly describes the motion of charge in the wire?
a. The protons move from their initial position in the wire away from the negative terminal of the battery toward the positive terminal of the battery. It would take a proton a short time to travel between the terminals - only a few microseconds.
b. The protons are generated in the battery and then move away from the positive terminal of the battery toward the negative terminal of the battery. It would take a proton a long time to travel between the terminals - at least an hour.
c. The free electrons move from their initial position in the wire away from the negative terminal of the battery toward the positive terminal of the battery. It would take a free electron a long time to travel between the terminals - at least an hour.
