- The first Leyden jar was probably discovered by a German clerk named E. Georg von Kleist. Because von Kleist was not a scientist and did not keep good records, the credit for the discovery of the Leyden jar usually goes to physicist Pieter Musschenbroek from Leyden, Holland. Musschenbroek accidentally discovered the Leyden jar when he tried to charge a jar of water and shocked himself by touching the wire on the inside of the jar while holding the jar on the outside. He said that the shock was no ordinary shock and his body shook violently as though he had been hit by lightning. The energy from the jar that passed through his body was probably around 1 J, and his jar probably had a capacitance of about 1 nF. a. Estimate the charge that passed through Musschenbroeks body. b. What was the potential difference between the inside and outside of the Leyden jar before Musschenbroek discharged it?arrow_forward(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . Six resistors, all having the same temperatures and compositions, are each attached to a battery with voltage V to form a simple circuit. The resistors have different lengths, l, but the same diameters. Rank the circuits according to the current that flows through the resistor from smallest to greatest. If two (or more) circuits have the same current flowing, give them the same ranking. Explain the rationale you used to establish your rankings. Circuit 1: l = 2 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 2: l = 2 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 3: l = 1 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 4: l = 1 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 5: l = 3cm; V = 2 V Circuit 6: l = 3cm; V = 6 Varrow_forwardAn electron is fired at a speed v = 3.1 x 10° m/s and at an angle 0, = 36.8° between two parallel conducting plates as shown in the figure.

- In the last column in the data table, it says that it's about voltage(v) divided by current(A) is equal to ohms so V/A = ohms. So if it's V/A and if you divide them to get the slope it's (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) then shouldn't V be the y value and A be the x value? And can you also try to use a line of best bit instead of drawing the line through each dot?arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution ....arrow_forwardCalculate in electrons per cubic meter.arrow_forward

If you are caught outside in a lightning-storm, it is important to avoid hiding under trees. Many cattle deaths during lightning storms occur when the animals are too close to the tree. It has been frequently seen that a cow standing with its body aligned radially to the tree is less likely to survive than cows that have their body tangentially oriented to concentric circles around the tree.
