Answer:

9.56\cdot 10^{-7} C

Explanation:

A parallel-plate capacitors consist of two parallel plates charged with opposite charge.

Since the distance between the plates (1 cm) is very small compared to the side of the plates (19 cm), we can consider these two plates as two infinite sheets of charge.

The electric field between two infinite sheets with opposite charge is:

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma=\frac{Q}{A} is the surface charge density, where

Q is the charge on the plate

A is the area of the plate

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

In this problem:

- The side of one plate is

L = 19 cm = 0.19 m

So the area is

A=L^2=(0.19)^2=0.036m^2

Here we want to find the maximum charge that can be stored on the plates such that the value of the electric field does not overcome:

E=3\cdot 10^6 N/C

Substituting this value into the previous formula and re-arranging it for Q, we find the charge:

E=\frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}\\Q=EA\epsilon_0 = (3\cdot 10^6)(0.036)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})=9.56\cdot 10^{-7} C

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the  liquid

         B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

         T + B -W = 0

         B = W- T               (1)

use the density to write the weight

         ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

         W = ρ g V

substitute in  1

         B = m g -T

         B = \rho_{body} g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel  \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

         B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

          B = 92.3 - 29.4

          B = 62.9 N

k0ka [10]

Answer:

1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C

Explanation:

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

A = Area = 6\times 10^{-9}\ m^2

d = Thickness = 1.6\times 10^{-8}\ m

k = Dielectric constant = 5.4

V = Voltage = 86.2 mV

Charge is given by

Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=k\epsilon\dfrac{A}{d}V\\\Rightarrow Q=5.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times \dfrac{6\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-8}}\times 86.2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C

The charge on the outer surface is 1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C
