Discharge Definition and 256 Threads

I've got two tubes filled with liquid, their both of equal diameters, the first one is straight up and down about 20 feet long, the other is 100 feet long but is spiraled like on a spool, since the straight tube has a higher fall than the spiral, I would assume that the straight tube would have...

I did a physics lab about diffraction grating where we had to determine the angular positions of all spectral lines of the helium discharge tube. I have 3 questions : 1. Why use a discharge tube instead of a light bulb? - I think it might be because you would have to break up the white...

Hello folks, just having a few problems getting my head round LRC circuits and so have gone back to basics, first starting with Capacitors and Inductors discharging through resistors. At this stage I ask of you kind sirs two things: 1. Confirm that my understanding of the capacitor discharge...

A certain car batter with a 12.0 V emf has an initial charge of 120 A*h. Assuming that the potential across the terminals stays constant until the battery is completely discharged, for how many hours can it deliver energy at the rate of 100 W? I am not sure how to get time into the...

OK, here is the question... its probably simple but i can't figure it out. A machine used to regualte the amount of dye dispensed for mixing shades of paint can be set so that it discharges an average of mu milliliteres(mL) of dye per can of paint. The amount of dye discharged is known to...

I know that in a parallel connection, two capacitors that are charged and connected across a resistor, the switch is open, the capacitors discharge the same as if there was only one by itself? I need a physical argument as why this is? Any suggestions? I know that in a series connection, two...
