The question is not complete. see the complete question in the explanation section. The correct option is highlighted in bold

Explanation:

(a)A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. At the moment contact is made with the battery, the voltage across the resistor is

I. greater than the battery's terminal voltage.

II. equal to the battery's terminal voltage.

III. less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero.

IV. zero.

Option (i) is not correct as the voltage across the resistor cannot be greater than the terminal voltage since the current is yet to flow through the resistor. Option (ii) is correct as both the resistor voltage and the terminal voltage will just equal at the instance of connection. Option (ii) can only be possible after the current must have passed through the resistor for a while not immediately after contact. Option (iv) is not correct, as this can only be possible is the contact is open.

(b)A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. At the moment contact is made with the battery the voltage across the capacitor is

I. greater than the battery's terminal voltage.

II. equal to the battery's terminal voltage.

III.less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero.

IV.zero.

Option (i) is not correct as the capacitor is yet to charge talk less of the its voltage exceeding that of the battery. Option (ii) can only be correct if the capacitor is fully charged not when it has just been connected. Option (iii) can only occur if the capacitor is discharging. Option (iv) is the correct answer as the capacitor is about to start charging

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i. e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass
