Question 1 b The capacitor is discharging - so it
discharges 63.2% in one time constant - so what is left? Time Constant = the time required for the current in the circuit to build up to 63.2% of the maximum value http://www.hamstudy.com/freeadvanced/a-001-1.html
Question 2 a Exceed the voltage at which the capaicitor
is rated, and you destroy the capacitor
Question 3 a Relative' means relative to 'free space'
(a 'vacuum' in other words) http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_13/3.html/magn etic_inclination
Question 4 b 'Inclination' is the same as 'dip'. Dip
is greatest at the poles and least at the equator http://www.erin.utoronto.ca/~w3gibo/How%20to%20do%20field %20studies/properties_of_magnetic_field_at_.htm
Question 5 c Read up on the 'Curie Point'
Question 6 a Read up on electromagnetic induction"
Question 7 a Read up on transformer losses
Question 8 c Star wound output - line voltage is 1.73 x
phase voltage
Question 9 c When power is in Watts, it is all true
power - there is no apparent power
Question 10 b Lower frequency will decrease the
reactance of the inductor which will increase its current, possibly damaging it."
