In one experiment, you measured the potential difference across a resistor as a capacitor discharged through it. You then plotted the natural logarithm of the voltage vs time (in seconds), and from the equation of the best fit line you measured the time constant of the RC circuit. If the equation of that line is ln open vertical bar V close vertical bar equals negative 0.027 t plus 2.5 , what is the time constant of the circuit?

Explanation:

For discharge of capacitor in RC circuit , the relation is as follows

V is voltage across the capacitor , V₀ is maximum  voltage across capacitor  , λ is time constant and t is the time after which the voltage is recorded. During discharge this will also be voltage across resistance .

Taking log on both sides

lnV = lnV₀   -  

Given equation

[lnV] = - .027 t + 2.5

Comparing these equation

λ = 37 s

time constant = 37 sec.

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
