What is the total capacitance of a circuit containing a 3microfarad capacitor and a 2microfarad capacitor in series.

For capacitors in series (1/Total capacitance)=(1/capacitance1)+(1/capacitance2).1/C=[(1/(310^-6))+(1/(210^-6))]^-1Total capacitance=1.2*10^-6=1.2microfarad

A particle of mass 5kg is moving in circular motion with a time period of 2 seconds. The radius of the circle is 10m. What is the centripetal force on the particle


A ball of mass m is thrown from the ground at the speed u=10ms^-1 at an angle of 30 degrees. Find the max height, the total flight time and the max distance it travels?Assume g=10ms^-1 and there is no air friction


Ignoring air resistance, use an energy argument to find the speed of a ball when it hits the ground if it is dropped from 50m, where m is the mass of the ball.


Two current carrying wires are placed next to each other and anti-parallel currents are allowed to flow. Is the magnetic force between the wires attractive or repulsive?
