As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 360 cm2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the

Softa [21]

Answer:

$Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C$

Explanation:

We are given that a parallel- plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference V and then disconnected from the voltage source.

1 m =100 cm

Surface area =S= $\frac{360}{10000}=0.036 m^2$

$\Delta d=0.8 cm=0.008 m$

$\Delta V=100 V$

We have to find the charge Q on the positive plates of the capacitor.

V=Initial voltage between plates

d=Initial distance between plates

Initial Capacitance of capacitor

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{d}$

Capacitance of capacitor after moving plates

$C_1=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{(d+\Delta d)}$

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$

Potential difference between plates after moving

$V=\frac{Q}{C_1}$

$V+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{C_1}$

$\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}+100=\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0S}$

$\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0 S}-\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}=100$

$\frac{Q\Delta d}{\epsilon_0 S}=100$

$\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$Q=\frac{100\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.036}{0.008}$

$Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C$

Hence, the charge on positive plate of capacitor= $Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C$
