Answer to Problem 1ASA

Hooke’s law gives the value of restoring force present in the spring and there is one limitation of the law that it may valid up to a certain limit.

Explanation of Solution

Hooke’s law states that the restoring force of spring directly depends upon the distance at which it was elongated. Mathematically the Hooke’s law is given as

    FxF=kx

Here, F is the restoring force of spring, k is the spring constant, x is the distance at which it was elongated and negative sign implies that the restoring force is in the opposite direction in which it was elongated.

There is a limitation of Hooke’s law that it is valid upto a certain elastic limit of spring. After a cartain displacement of sping the restoring force does not act on the spring.

Conclusion:

Thus, Hooke’s law gives the value of restoring force present in the spring and there is one limitation of the law that it may valid up to a certain limit.

In (Figure 1) C1 = 6.00 μF, C2 = 6.00 μF, C3 = 12.0 μF, and C4 = 3.00 μF. The capacitor network is connected to an applied potential difference Vab. After the charges on the capacitors have reached their final values, the voltage across C3 is 40.0 V. What is the voltage across C4? What is the voltage Vab applied to the network? Please explain everything in steps.
