Question
The current through a wire depends on time as $\text{i}=\text{i}_0+\alpha\text{t},$
Where $\text{i}_0=10\text{A}$ and $\alpha=4\text{A/ s}.$ Find the charge that crosses through a section of the wire in 10 seconds.

Answer

$\text{i}=\text{i}_0+\alpha\text{t},\ \text{t}=10\text{sec},$ $\text{i}_0=10\text{A},\alpha=4\text{A}/\text{ sec}$
$\text{q}=\int\limits^\text{t}_0\text{idt}=\int\limits^\text{t}_0(\text{i}_0+\alpha\text{t})\text{dt}=\int\limits^\text{t}_0\text{i}_0\text{dt}+\int\limits^\text{t}_0\alpha\text{tdt}$
$=\text{i}_0\text{t}+\alpha\frac{\text{t}^2}{2}=10\times10+4\times\frac{10\times10}{2}$
$=100+200=300\text{C}.$

Two sources of sound, $S_1$ and $S_2,$ emitting waves of equal wavelength 20.0cm, are placed with a separation of 20.0cm between them. A detector can be moved on a line parallel to $S_1S_2,$ and at a distance of 20.0cm from it. Initially, the detector is equidistant from the two sources. Assuming that the waves emitted by the sources are in phase, find the minimum distance through which the detector should be shifted to detect a minimum of sound.
