Keeping in mind that the conversion between calories and Joules is
1 cal = 4.186 J
we can write the conversion factor using the kilocalories:
1 kcal = 4186 J

The energy released in our problem is
E=3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J 
so we can set a simple proportion to find its equivalent in kcal:
1 kcal: 4186 J = x: 3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J
from which we find:
x= \frac{3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J \cdot 1 kcal}{4186 J} =7.88 \cdot 10^6 kcal

Two 0.2304 cm x 0.2304 cm square aluminum electrodes, spaced 0.5974 mm apart are connected to a 61 V battery. What is the charge
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC

Explanation:

for the distance between the plates d and given the area of plates, A, and ε = 8.85×10^-12 C^2/N.m^2, the capacitance of the plates is given by:

C = (A×ε)/d

   =[(0.2304×10^-2)(0.2304×10^-2)×(8.85×10^-12))/(0.5974×10^-3)

   = 7.86×10^-14 F

then if the plates are connected to a battery of voltage V = 61 V, the charge on the plates is given by:

q = C×V

   = (7.86×10^-14)×(61)

   = 4.80×10^-14 C

   ≈ 0.0048 nC

Therefore, the charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC.
