Answer:

A. U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is its ability to store charges. For parallel-plate capacitors, this ability depends the material between the plates, the common plate area and the plate separation. The relationship is

C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}

C is the capacitance, A is the common plate area, d is the plate separation and \epsilon is the permittivity of the material between the plates.

For air or free space, \epsilon is \epsilon_0 called the permittivity of free space. In general, \epsilon=\epsilon_r \epsilon_0 where \epsilon_r is the relative permittivity or dielectric constant of the material between the plates. It is a factor that determines the strength of the material compared to air. In fact, for air or vacuum, \epsilon_r=1.

The energy stored in a capacitor is the average of the product of its charge and voltage.

U = \dfrac{QV}{2}

Its charge, Q, is related to its capacitance by Q=CV (this is the electrical definition of capacitance, a ratio of the charge to its voltage; the previous formula is the geometric definition). Substituting this in the formula for U,

U = \dfrac{CV^2}{2}

A. Substituting for C in U,

U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. When the distance is 3d,

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2\times3d}

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. When the distance is restored but with a dielectric material of dielectric constant, K, inserted, we have

U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

Answer:

9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Uncertainty in position x uncertainty in momentum ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δp = mΔV

ΔV = Uncertainty in velocity

= 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 / 100

= 6 x 10⁻⁸

mass m = 0.9 x 10⁻¹⁵ x 10⁻³ kg

m = 9 x 10⁻¹⁹

Δp = mΔV

= 9 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6 x 10⁻⁸

= 54 x 10⁻²⁷

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x  54 x 10⁻²⁷ ≥ h / 4π

Δ X = h / 4π x 1 /  54 x 10⁻²⁷

= \frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14\times54\times10^{-27}}

= 9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
