The Network Shown Is Assembled with Uncharged Capacitors $X , Y$

question 197

Multiple Choice

The network shown is assembled with uncharged capacitors $X , Y$ , and $Z$ , with $C _ { X } = 3.0 \mu F$ , $C _ { Y } = 5.0 \mu \mathrm { F }$ and $\mathrm { C } _ { Z } = 1.0 \mu \mathrm { F }$ . The switches $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 }$ and $\mathrm { S } _ { 2 }$ are initially open, and a potential difference $V _ { a b } = 120 \mathrm {~V}$ is applied between points $a$ and $b$ . After the network is assembled, switch $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 }$ is then closed, but switch $S _ { 2 }$ is kept open. What is the final potential difference across capacitor $Z$ ?

• A) \(38 \mathrm {~V}\)
• B) \(100 \mathrm {~V}\)
• C) \(29 \mathrm {~V}\)
• D) \(55 \mathrm {~V}\)
• E) \(600 \mathrm {~V}\)

Definitions:

Higher-order Conditioning

A form of learning in which a stimulus is first made meaningful or consequential through its association with another stimulus, and then that stimulus is used as a basis for learning about additional stimuli.

Classical Conditioning

Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus, leading to a learned response.

Balloons

Flexible bags that can be inflated with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, or air, and used for decorative, entertainment, or observational purposes.

Classical Conditioning

A technique of learning where repetitive association of two stimuli leads to a response that, while initially induced by the second stimulus, is eventually induced by the first stimulus alone.
