Answer:
The time constant is [tex]\tau = 1.265 s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
the time take to charge is [tex]t = 2.4 \ s[/tex]
The mathematically representation for voltage potential of a capacitor at different time is
[tex]V = V_o - e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
Where [tex]\tau[/tex] is the time constant
[tex]V_o[/tex] is the potential of the capacitor when it is full
So the capacitor potential will be 100% when it is full thus [tex]V_o =[/tex]100% = 1
and from the question we are told that the at the given time the potential of the capacitor is 85% = 0.85 of its final potential so
V = 0.85
Hence
[tex]0.85 = 1 - e^{-\frac{2.4}{\tau } }[/tex]
[tex]- {\frac{2.4}{\tau } } = ln0.15[/tex]
[tex]\tau = 1.265 s[/tex]
You are given two infinite, parallel wires, each carrying current.The wires are separated by a distance, and the current in the two wires is flowing in the same direction. This problem concerns the force per unit length between the wires.
A. Is the force between the wires attractive orrepulsive?
B. What is the force per unit length between the two wires?
Answer:
A. Attractive
B. ( μ₀I² ) / ( 2πd )
Explanation:
A. We know that currents in the same direction attract, and currents in the opposite direction repel, according to ampere's law. In this case the current in the two wires are flowing in the same direction, and hence the force between the two wires are attractive.
B. Suppose that two wires of length [tex]l_1[/tex] and [tex]l_2[/tex] both carry the current [tex]I[/tex] in the same direction ( given ). In the presence of a magnetic field produced by wire 1, a force of magnitude m say, is experienced by wire 2. The magnitude of the magnetic field produced by wire 1 at distance say d, from it's axis, should thus be the following -
[tex]B_1[/tex] = μ₀I / 2πd
The force experienced by wire 2 should thus be -
[tex]F_2[/tex] = I( [tex]l_2[/tex] [tex]*[/tex] [tex]B_1[/tex] )
= I [tex]*[/tex] [tex]l_2 * B_1 *[/tex] Sin( 90 )
= I [tex]*[/tex] [tex]l_2[/tex] ( μ₀I / 2πd )
Therefore the force per unit length experienced by wire 2 toward wire 1 should be ...
( [tex]F_2[/tex] / [tex]l_2[/tex] ) = ( μ₀I² ) / ( 2πd ) ... which is our solution

newtons first law states that an object at rest stays at rest unless on opposite force act against it, so when the buss started to move it acted on shelly forcing her to move back. Shelly's inertia was at a halt and was forced back by the motion of the bus.
At the first minimum adjacent to the central maximum of a single-slit diffraction pattern the phase difference between the Huygens wavelet from the top of the slit and the wavelet from the midpoint of the slit is:
Answer:
Explanation:
The whole wave front may be divided into two halves , the upper half and the lower half . Waves coming from top of the slit or top of upper half and top of lower half or from the mid point of slit can form minima at given point only when there is phase difference of π radian or path difference of λ or one wavelength. Every other point in upper half and corresponding point in lower half will interfere destructively at that point and will form dark spot at the given point . In this way minima will be formed at that point
Hence the phase difference between the Huygens wavelet from the top of the slit and the wavelet from the midpoint of the slit at first minima is π radian .
Two uncharged metal spheres, #1 and #2, are mounted on insulating support rods. A third metal sphere, carrying a positive charge, is then placed near #2. Now a copper wire is momentarily connected between #1 and #2 and then removed. Finally, sphere #3 is removed.

Position [m] = (−20)--- (0.00) ---(10)--- (11)--- (99)
Electric Potential [V]=
Answer:
Electric potential at position, x = -20 m, = -100 V
Electric potential at position, x = 0 m, = 0
Electric potential at position, x = 10 m, = 50 V
Electric potential at position, x = 11 m, = 55 V
Electric potential at position, x = 99 m, 495 V
Explanation:
Given;
magnitude of electric field, E = 5.0 V/m
at position x = 10 m, electric potential = 50 V
Electric potential at position, x = -20 m
V = Ex
V = 5 (-20)
V = -100 V
Electric potential at position, x = 0 m
V = Ex
V = 5(0)
V = 0
Electric potential at position, x = 10 m
V = Ex
V = 5(10)
V = 50 V
Electric potential at position, x = 11 m
V = Ex
V = 5(11)
V = 55 V
Electric potential at position, x = 99 m
V = Ex
V = 5(99)
V = 495 V

Answer:
The time rate of change of the electric field between the plates is [tex]\frac{E }{t} = 2.29 *10^{14} \ N \cdot C \cdot s^{-1}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The radius is [tex]r = 2.8 \ cm = 0.028 \ m[/tex]
The distance of separation is [tex]d = 1.1 \ mm = 0.0011 \ m[/tex]
The current is [tex]I = 5 \ A[/tex]
Generally the electric field generated is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{q }{ \pi * r^2 \epsilon_o }[/tex]
Where [tex]\epsilon_o[/tex] is the permitivity of free space with a value
[tex]\epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12 }\ m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot s^4 \cdot A^2[/tex]
So the time rate of change of the electric field between the plates is mathematically represented as
[tex]\frac{E }{t} = \frac{q}{t} * \frac{1 }{ \pi * r^2 \epsilon_o }[/tex]
But [tex]\frac{q}{t } = I[/tex]
So
[tex]\frac{E }{t} = * \frac{I }{ \pi * r^2 \epsilon_o }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\frac{E }{t} = * \frac{5 }{3.142 * (0.028)^2 * 8.85 *10^{-12} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{E }{t} = 2.29 *10^{14} \ N \cdot C \cdot s^{-1}[/tex]

The distance measured between five successive crests of a wave motion executed by a photon of an electromagnetic radiation is 2.4cm.
1. Determine the wavelength in micrometers
2. what is the frequency of the photon
3. what is the energy possessed by the photon.
Answer:
1. λ = 0.48 cm = 4800 μm
2. υ = 6.25 x 10¹⁰ Hz
3. E = 4.14 x 10⁻²³ J
Explanation:
1.
Since, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive or successive crests or troughs. Therefore, in this case the wavelength will be equal to:
Wavelength = λ = Distance between 5 successive crests/5
λ = 2.4 cm/5
λ = 0.48 cm = 4800 μm
2.
The frequency of photon can be given as:
υ = c/λ
where,
υ = frequency of photon = ?
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength = 0.48 cm = 0.0048 m
Therefore,
υ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(0.0048 m)
υ = 6.25 x 10¹⁰ Hz
3.
Now, the energy of photon is given as:
E = hυ
where,
E = Energy = ?
h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(6.25 x 10¹⁰ Hz)
E = 4.14 x 10⁻²³ J

Two forces act at a point in the plane. The angle between the two forces is given. Find the magnitude of the resultant force. forces of 232 and 194 newtons, forming an angle of 67
Answer:
408N at 89.89°
Explanation:
This problem requires that we resolve the force vectors into
x- and y
-componentsOnce this is done, we can add the components easily, as the one 2-dimensional problem will be two 1-dimensional problems.
Finally, we will convert the resultant force into standard form and find the equilibrant.
Resolve into components:
F1x =F1cos 180°= 232(−1)=−232N
F1y=F1sin180°=0N
F2x=F2cos(−140°)=194(−0.766)=−148.6N
F1y=F1sin(−140°)=232(−0.643)=−149.17N
Note the change of the angle used to give the direction of
F2. Standard angles (rotation from thex
-axis; counterclockwise is +) should be used to avoid sign errors in the results.
Now, we add the components:
Fx=F1x+F2x=−380.6N
Fy=F1y+F1y=−148.17N
Technically, this is the resultant force. However, it should be changed back into standard form. Here's how:
F=√(Fx)2(Fy)2=√(−380.6)^2(−148.17)^2=408N
θ=tan−1(−148.17−380.6)
=89.89°
Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at each ear just 0.34 ms apart, which is useful in determining where low-frequency sound is originating from.
(a) Suppose a low-frequency sound source is placed to the right of a person, whose ears are approximately 20 cm apart, and the speed of sound generated is 340 m/s. How long (in s) is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear?
(b) Assume the same person was scuba diving and a low-frequency sound source was to the right of the scuba diver. How long (in ) is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear if the speed of sound in water is 1,530 m/s? S
(c) What is significant about the time interval of the two situations?
Answer:
(a) 0.59 ms
(b) 0.15 ms
(c) The significance is that the speed of sound in different media determines the time interval of perception by the ears, which are at constant distance apart.
Explanation:
(a) distance between ears = 20 cm = 0.2 m
speed of sound generated = 340 m/s
time = ?
speed = [tex]\frac{distance covered}{time taken}[/tex]
⇒ time taken, t = [tex]\frac{distance covered}{speed}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.2}{340}[/tex]
= 5.8824 × [tex]10^{-4}[/tex]
= 0.59 ms
The time interval of the arrival of the sound at the right ear to the left ear is 0.59 ms.
(b) distance between ears = 20 cm = 0.2 m
speed of sound in water = 1530 m/s
time = ?
speed = [tex]\frac{distance covered}{time taken}[/tex]
⇒ time taken, t = [tex]\frac{distance covered}{speed}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.2}{1530}[/tex]
= 1.4815 × [tex]10^{-4}[/tex]
= 0.15 ms
The sound heard by the right ear of the diver would arrive at the left 0.15 ms latter.
(c) The significance is that the speed of sound in different media, determines the time interval of perception by the ears, which are at constant distance apart.
A) The time interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear is; t = 0.588 × 10⁻³ seconds
B) The time interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear if the speed of sound in water is 1,530 m/s is; t = 0.131 × 10⁻⁵ seconds
C) The significance about the time interval of the two situations is that;
Transmission of sound varies with different mediums.
A) We are given;
Distance between the two ears; d = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Speed of sound; v = 340 m/s
Since the sound source is placed at the right ear, the time interval for it to get to the left ear is;
t = d/v
t = 0.2/340
t = 0.588 × 10⁻³ seconds
B) We are now told that the speed of sound in water is 1530 m/s. Thus;
t = 0.2/1530
t = 0.131 × 10⁻⁵ seconds
C) We can see that in answer A and B, the time interval is different even when the distance remained the same. This means that, the time interval of hearing a sound changes with respect to the medium of transmission.

A 1000-turn toroid has a central radius of 4.2 cm and is carrying a current of 1.7 A. The magnitude of the magnetic field along the central radius is
Answer:
0.0081T
Explanation:
The magnetic field B in the toroid is proportional to the applied current I and the number of turns N per unit length L of the toroid. i.e
B ∝ I [tex]\frac{N}{L}[/tex]
B = μ₀ I [tex]\frac{N}{L}[/tex] ----------------(i)
Where;
μ₀ = constant of proportionality called the magnetic constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷N/A²
Since the radius (r = 4.2cm = 0.042m) of the toroid is given, the length L is the circumference of the toroid given by
L = 2π r
L = 2π (0.042)
L = 0.084π
The number of turns N = 1000
The current in the toroid = 1.7A
Substitute these values into equation (i) to get the magnetic field as follows;
B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 1.7 x [tex]\frac{1000}{0.084\pi }[/tex] [cancel out the πs and solve]
B = 0.0081T
The magnetic field along the central radius is 0.0081T
A 4.7 kg solid sphere made of metal, whose density is 4000 kg /m3, is suspended by a cord. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3.When the sphere is immersed in water, the tension in the cord is closest to:
Answer:
34.58 N
Explanation:
From the question,
Tension in the cord = Weight of the solid metal- Upthrust
T = W-U................... Equation 1
But,
W = mg
Where m = mass of solid, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: m = 4.7 kg, g = 9.8 m/s²
W = 4.7(9.8) = 46.1 N.
U = (Density of water×Volume of water displaced.)gravity
U = D×V×g.
But,
V = Mass of solid/density of solid
V = 4.7/4000
V = 1.175×10⁻³ m³.
Therefore,
U = 1.175×10⁻³(1000)(9.8)
U = 11.52 N
Therefore,
T = 46.1-11.52
T = 34.58 N
Which of the following statement regarding orbits is true?
A) In a orbit, the satellite and the central body are the two Foci of the eclipse.
B) the orbit of the planet has an elliptical shape with the Sun at one Focus.
C) an elliptical orbit there is one focus and the satellite is located there.
D) the sun and a planet are the two Foci of an orbit
The correct option is option (B)
The orbit of the planets is elliptical with the sun at one of the foci.
Orbit of planets:According to Kepler's Laws:
The orbit of a planet around the Sun is an ellipse, with the Sun in one of the focal points of that ellipse. The planet's orbit lies in a plane, called the orbital plane. The point on the orbit closest to the attracting body is the periapsis. The point farthest from the attracting body is called the apoapsis. As the planet moves in its orbit, the line from the Sun to the planet sweeps a constant area of the orbital plane for a given period of time. This means that the planet moves faster near its perihelion than near its aphelion, because at the smaller distance it needs to trace a greater arc to cover the same area. This law is usually stated as equal areas in equal time.For a given orbit, the ratio of the cube of its semi-major axis to the square of its period is constant.Learn more about Kepler's Laws:

A ball is thrown at 23.2 m/s inside a boxcar moving along the tracks at 34.9 m/s. What is the speed of the ball relative to the ground if the ball is thrown forward
Answer:
The speed of the ball relative to the ground if the ball is thrown forward is 58.1 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the ball thrown inside boxcar, [tex]V_B[/tex] = 23.2 m/s
speed of the boxcar moving along the tracks, [tex]V_T[/tex] = 34.9 m/s
Determine the speed of the ball relative to the ground if the ball is thrown forward.
If the ball is thrown forward, the speed of the ball relative to the ground will be sum of the ball's speed plus speed of the boxcar.
[tex]V_{relative \ speed} = V_B + V_T\\\\V_{relative \ speed} = 23.2 + 34.9\\\\V_{relative \ speed} = 58.1 \ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the speed of the ball relative to the ground if the ball is thrown forward is 58.1 m/s.
A −3.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=−9 cm and a +4.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=16 cm. At what point or points on the y-axis is the electric potential zero?
Answer:
y = 10.2 m
Explanation:
It is given that,
Charge, [tex]q_1=-3\ nC[/tex]
It is placed at a distance of 9 cm at x axis
Charge, [tex]q_2=+4\ nC[/tex]
It is placed at a distance of 16 cm at x axis
We need to find the point on the y-axis where the electric potential zero. The net potential on y-axis is equal to 0. So,
[tex]\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}=0[/tex]
Here,
[tex]r_1=\sqrt{y^2+9^2} \\\\r_2=\sqrt{y^2+15^2}[/tex]
So,
[tex]\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{q_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{q_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{-3\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+81} }=-\dfrac{4\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+225} }\\\\3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}[/tex]
Squaring both sides,
[tex]3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}\\\\9(y^2+225)=16\times (y^2+81)\\\\9y^2+2025=16y^2-+1296\\\\2025-1296=7y^2\\\\7y^2=729\\\\y=10.2\ m[/tex]
So, at a distance of 10.2 m on the y axis the electric potential equals 0.
According to the question,
Charge,
[tex]q_1 = -3 \ nC[/tex] (9 cm at x-axis)[tex]q_2 = +4 \ nC[/tex] (16 cm at x-axis)Now,
→ [tex]\frac{kq_1}{r_1} +\frac{kq_2}{r_2} =0[/tex]
or,
→ [tex]\frac{kq_1}{r_1} =-\frac{kq_2}{r_2}[/tex]
→ [tex]\frac{q_1}{r_1} = \frac{q_2}{r_2}[/tex]
here,
[tex]r_1 = \sqrt{y^2+81}[/tex]
[tex]r^2 = \sqrt{y^2+225}[/tex]
By substituting the values,
→ [tex]\frac{-3 }{\sqrt{y^2+225} } = -\frac{4}{\sqrt{y^2+225} }[/tex]
By applying cross-multiplication,
[tex]3\times \sqrt{y^2+225} = 4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}[/tex]
By squaring both sides, we get
→ [tex]9(y^2+225) = 16(y^2+81)[/tex]
[tex]9y^2+2025 = 16 y^2+1296[/tex]
[tex]2025-1296=7y^2[/tex]

A communications satellite orbiting the earth has solar panels that completely absorb all sunlight incident upon them. The total area A of the panels is 10m2.
1) The intensity of the sun's radiation incident upon the earth is about I=1.4kW/m2. Suppose this is the value for the intensity of sunlight incident upon the satellite's solar panels. What is the total solar power P absorbed by the panels?
Express your answer numerically in kilowatts to two significant figures.
2) What is the total force F on the panels exerted by radiation pressure from the sunlight?
Express the total force numerically, to two significant figures, in units of newtons.
Answer:
1) 14 kW
2) 4.67 x 10^-5 N
Explanation:
Area of solar panel = 10 m^2
Intensity of sun's radiation incident on earth = 1.4 kW/m^2
Solar power absorbed = ?
We know that the intensity of radiation on a given area is
[tex]I[/tex] = [tex]\frac{P}{A}[/tex]
where I is the intensity of the radiation
P is the power absorbed due to this intensity on a given area
A is the area on which this radiation is incident
From the equation, we have
P = IA
P = 1.4 kW/m^2 x 10 m^2 = 14 kW
b) For a perfect absorbing surface, the radiation pressure is given as
p = I/c
where p is the radiation pressure
I is the incident light intensity = 1.4 kW/m^2 = 1.4 x 10^3 kW/m^2
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
substituting values, we have
p = (1.4 x 10^3)/(3 x 10^8) = 4.67 x 10^-6 Pa
we know that Force = pressure x area
therefore force on the solar panels is
F = 4.67 x 10^-6 x 10 = 4.67 x 10^-5 N
Balls A and B attract each other gravitationally with a force of magnitude F at distance R. If we triple the mass of ball B and triple the separation of the balls to 3R, what is the magnitude of their attractive force now
Answer:
F₂ = 1/3 FExplanation:
Using the law of gravitation of force to solve this question. The law states that the Force of attraction between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them.
Mathematically, F = GMaMb/R² ... 1
G is the gravitational constant
Ma and Mb are the masses of the balls
R is the distance between the balls
If the mass of ball B is tripled and the magnitude of the separation of the balls is increased to 3R, the force between them will be;
F₂ = GMa(3Mb)/(3R)²
F₂ = 3GMaMb/9R² ... 2
Dividing equation 1 by 2 we will have;
F₂/F = (3GMaMb/9R²)/GMaMb/R²
F₂/F = 3GMaMb/9R² * GMaMb/R²
F₂/F = 3/9
F₂/F = 1/3
F₂ = 1/3 F
This shows that the magnitude of the new attractive force is one-third that of the initial attractive force

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B) will have greater wavelength or photon due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .
As more energy from fossil fuels and other fuels is released on Earth, the overall temperature of Earth tends to rise. Discuss how temperature equilibrium explains why Earth’s temperature cannot rise indefinitely.
Answer:
processes are competitive and reach a thermal equilibrium where the absorbed energy is equal to the energy emitted, this is the equilibrium temperature of the planet.
Explanation:
The temperature of planet Earth is due to two main types of process, internal and external.
Internal processes are all chemical processes that occur that release heat into the environment or due to gases that trap heat on the planet, greenhouse effect
External processes is heating due to energy coming from the Sun. This includes direct heating of the surface by the absorption of energy and reflects of energy in different atmospheric layers.
These are the two terms that heat the Earth
In addition there are several processes so the planet loses energy,
* energy radiation to outer space that is a few degrees kelvin, for which there is a permanent emission
* endothermic processes that need to absorb heat to perform, this lowers the temperature of the system
* liquid (water) system that absorbs large amounts of heat to change state and temperature.
These processes are competitive and reach a thermal equilibrium where the absorbed energy is equal to the energy emitted, this is the equilibrium temperature of the planet.
Therefore it is impossible for the temperature to increase indefinitely since the emission would increase by decreasing the value
An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid X and 481 km from the center of asteroid Y, along the straight line joining the centers of the asteroids. What is the ratio of the masses X/Y of the asteroids
Explanation:
It is given that, An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid X and 481 km from the center of asteroid Y, along the straight line joining the centers of the asteroids. We need to find the ratio of their masses.
As they are in equilibrium, the force of gravity due to each other is same. So,
[tex]\dfrac{Gm_xM}{r^2}=\dfrac{Gm_yM}{r^2}\\\\\dfrac{m_x}{r_x^2}=\dfrac{m_y}{r_y^2}\\\\\dfrac{m_x}{r_x^2}=\dfrac{m_y}{r_y^2}\\\\\dfrac{m_x}{m_y}=(\dfrac{r_x^2}{r_y^2})\\\\\dfrac{m_x}{m_y}=(\dfrac{140^2}{481^2})\\\\\dfrac{m_x}{m_y}=0.0847[/tex]
So, the ratio of masses X/Y is 0.0847

2. Fluid flows at 2.0 m/s through a pipe of diameter 3.0 cm. What is the
volume flow rate of the fluid in m^3/s *
Answer:
9.42*10^-4 m^3/s
Explanation:
d=3/100 m
=0.03 m
A=3.14*0.03^2/6
=4.71*10^-4 m^2
Volume flow rate V = A * s
= 4.71*10^-4 * 2
= 9.42*10^-4
So, the volume flw rate of fluid is 9.42*10^-4 m^3/s

Suppose you have two point charges of opposite sign. As you move them farther and farther apart, the potential energy of this system relative to infinity:_____________.
(a) stays the same.
(b) Increases.
(c) Decreases.
(d) The answer would depend on the path of motion
Answer:
(b) Increases
Explanation:
The potential energy between two point charges is given as;
[tex]U = F*r = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}[/tex]
Where;
k is the coulomb's constant
q₁ ans q₂ are the two point charges
r is the distance between the two point charges
Since the two charges have opposite sign;
let q₁ be negative and q₂ be positive
Substitute in these charges we will have
[tex]U = \frac{k(-q_1)(q_2)}{r} \\\\U = - \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}[/tex]
The negative sign in the above equation shows that as the distance between the two charges increases, the potential energy increases as well.
Therefore, as you move the point charges farther and farther apart, the potential energy of this system relative to infinity Increases.
You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. First, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. By monitoring the capacitor voltage on an oscilloscope, you see that the voltage decays to half its initial value in 3.40 msms . You then use the resistor and capacitor to make a low-pass filter. What is the crossover frequency fcfc
Answer:
The frequency is [tex]f = 0.221 \ Hz[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time taken for it to decay to half its original size is [tex]t = 3.40 \ ms = 3.40 *10^{-3} \ s[/tex]
Let the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged be [tex]V_o[/tex]
Then the voltage of the capacitor at time t is said to be [tex]V = \frac{V_o}{2}[/tex]
Now this voltage can be mathematical represented as
[tex]V = V_o * e ^{-\frac{t}{RC} }[/tex]
Where RC is the time constant
substituting values
[tex]\frac{V_o}{2} = V_o * e ^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }[/tex]
[tex]0.5 = e^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }[/tex]
[tex]- \frac{0.5}{RC} = ln (0.5)[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{0.5}{RC} = -0.6931[/tex]
[tex]RC = 0.721[/tex]
Generally the cross-over frequency for a low pass filter is mathematically represented as
[tex]f = \frac{1}{2 \pi * RC }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]f = \frac{1}{2* 3.142 * 0.72 }[/tex]
[tex]f = 0.221 \ Hz[/tex]
