RC Circuits: a 4

question 15

Multiple Choice

RC circuits: A 4.0-μF capacitor that is initially uncharged is connected in series with a 4.0-kΩ resistor and an ideal 17.0-V battery. How much energy is stored in the capacitor 17 ms after the battery has been connected?


Definitions:

Condenser

An electrical charge storage device also known as a capacitor. In an A/C circuit, it is a heat exchanger located in the vehicle airflow and subject to the ram air. Cooling of the refrigerant causes it to condense to a liquid state. This results in the refrigerant changing to a liquid state.

Thermodynamics

A branch of physics that deals with the behavior of heat; its principles are used to explain the operation of heat exchangers and A/C operation.

Behavior of Heat

The study of how heat energy transfers between materials or systems and its effects.

State Change

A transition of a system or substance from one physical or thermodynamic state to another.
