We use a battery to cause a continuous potential difference by getting charges to separate. Explain why the terminals of a batte

QveST [7]

Answer:

To create an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor.

Explanation:

For current to flow, there must exist an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor. This PD is provided by the electromotive force stored within the battery. Unless there is a connection between the terminals no PD will exist between the terminals.

A parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates of radius R is being charged by a battery, which provides a constant current. At

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the magnetic field.

According to the information, the magnetic field INSIDE the plates is,

$B=\frac{1}{2} \mu \epsilon_0 r$

Where,

$\mu =$ Permeability constant

$\epsilon_0 =$ Electromotive force

r = Radius

From this deduction we can verify that the distance is proportional to the field

$B \propto r$

Then the distance relationship would be given by

$\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B}{B_{max}}$

$r =\frac{B}{B_{max}} R$

$r = \frac{0.5B_{max}}{B_{max}}R$

$r = 0.5R$

On the outside, however, it is defined by

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i_d}{2\pi r}$

Here the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance, that is

$B \not\propto r$

Then,

$\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B_{max}{B}}$

$r = \frac{B_{max}{B}}R$

$r = \frac{B_{max}{0.5B_{max}}}R$

$r = 2R$

A 425-g piece of metal at 100°C is dropped into a 100-g aluminum cup containing 500 g of water at 15°C. The final temperature of

yKpoI14uk [10]

The specific heat of the metal, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings is 2140 J/(kg•K).

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

The specific heat capacity of the metal is determined from the principle of conservation of energy.

energy lost by the metal = energy gained by aluminum + energy gained by water

Q = mcΔθ

where;

m is mass (kg)
c is specific heat capacity
Δθ is change in temperature

0.425c(100 - 40) = 0.1(900)(40 - 15) + 0.5(4186)(40 - 15)

25.5c = 2250 + 52,325

c = 54,575/25.5

c = 2140 J/(kg•K)
