    A system of cogwheels is shown in the diagram below:

    An external force turns the cogwheel on the extreme left in the given direction (counter clockwise). Which cogwheel will turn faster, the

    first one (I) or the second one (II)?

    Both cogwheels Impossible to


    Cogwheel 1 Cogwheel 2
    will turn at the answer
    same speed

    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2.

    In order to answer this question we will use the concept of gear ratio.

    Gear ratio is defined as the ratio between the wheel upon which the force is applied and the wheel to
    which the force is transmitted.

    Ninput = the number of teeth in the driver gear (driver cogwheel)


    Noutput = the number of teeth in the driven gear (driven cogwheel)

    -> Gear ratio =

    In addition, we need to be familiar with the relationship between the gear ratio and the angular
    velocity ratio:

    The ratio of angular velocity is inversely proportional to the gear ratio (the bigger the driver cogwheel
    compared to the driven cogwheel, the faster the driven cogwheel will turn).

    We can see that cogwheel 2 is smaller than cogwheel 1 and that both are set in motion by the same
    driver cogwheel. The first formula enables us to understand that the gear ratio between cogwheel 2
    and the driver cogwheel is smaller than the gear ratio between cogwheel 1 and the driver cogwheel.
    From the second formula we can understand that since the gear ratio of cogwheel 2 is smaller than
    cogwheel 1, the velocity of cogwheel 2 is greater than that of cogwheel 1.

    What is the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor (condenser) of the circuit shown in the diagram below?

    Impossible to
    4mF 3mF 12mF 5mF
    answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is 3.

    In order to solve this question it will be easier to look at the circuit as though it is made up of two
    parts:

    (I)Capacitors 3 and 4 connected in parallel.


    (II)The equivalent capacitance of (I) and capacitor 5 connected in parallel.

    Connecting capacitors in parallel is based on the fact that the voltage potential on the capacitors is
    equal and is also equal to voltage potential on the equivalent capacitor.
    Thus:

    Cequivalent = C1 + C2 + ...
    By inserting the data for capacitors 3 and 4 we will receive the following equivalent value:

    C equivalent of the upper two capacitors = 3mF + 4mF = 7mF

    Similarly, we can calculate the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor in the circuit using the
    equivalent capacitance of (3+4) and 5:

    Cnet = 7mF + 5mF = 12mF
