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

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

Ablock of mass m slides on a horizontal frictionless table with an initial speed v0 . it then compresses a spring of force constant k and is brought to rest. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. how much is the spring compressed x from its natural length? 1) x = v0*sqrt(k/(mg)) 2) x=v0*sqrt(m/k) 3) x=v0*((mk)/g) 4) x=v0*sqrt(k/m) 5) x=v0*(m/kg) 6) x=v0*sqrt((mg)/k) 7) x=(v0)^2/(2g) 8) x=v0*(k/(mg)) 9) x=(v0)^2/(2m) 10) x=v0*((mg)/k)
