Q:

A parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C1is  made  using  two  gold  plates.  Another parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C2is made  using  two  aluminium  plates  with same  plate  separation,  and  all  the  four plates  are  of  same  area.  If gand aPare respectively  the  electrical  resistivities  of gold and aluminium, then which one of the following relations is correct?

A) C1>C2 B) C2>C1
C) C1pa = C2pg D) C1 = C2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) C1 = C2

Explanation:

C1= capacitance of gold plates

C2=   capacitance   of   aluminium plates

rg= Gold’s resistivity

ra= Aluminium’s resistivity

As the capacitance depends on the shape,  size  &  geometrical  placing of  the  conductors  &  the  medium between them, hence, the value of capacitance  will  be  independent  of resistivity. Therefore, C1= C2

A) Congress acquires requested oversight material from the executive. B) Congress instructs the president to eliminate federal agencies.
C) Congress grants funds to federal agencies. D) Congress makes laws.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Congress grants funds to federal agencies.

Explanation:

Appropriations are annual decisions made by Congress about how the federal government spends some of its money. In general, the appropriations process addresses the discretionary portion of the budget – spending ranging from national defense to food safety to education to federal employee salaries, but excludes mandatory spending, such as Medicare and Social Security, which is spent automatically according to formulas.
