A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two horizontal 12.0-cm-diameter circular plates. A 1.1 g plastic bead with a charge

of -5.6 nC is suspended between the two plates by the force of the electric field between them. What is the charge on the positive plate?

Answer:

The charge on positive plate is -1.92 \times 10^{-7} C

Explanation:

Given :

Diameter d = 0.12 m

Radius r = 0.06 m

Mass of bead = 1.1 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Charge of bead q = -5.6 \times 10^{-9} C

Electric field in capacitor is given by,

   E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}  A}

Where \epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

For finding electric field in terms of force,

   E = \frac{F}{q}

But F = mg

F = 1.1 \times 10^{-3 } \times 9.8         ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

F = 10.78 \times 10^{-3} N

So electric field, E = \frac{10.78 \times 10^{-3} }{-5.6 \times 10^{-9} }

E =- 1.92 \times 10^{6} \frac{N}{C}

Now charge on positive plate is,

Q = E \epsilon _{o} A

Q = -1.92 \times 10^{6} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times \pi   (0.06)^{2}

Q =- 1.92 \times 10^{-7} C

Therefore, the charge on positive plate is -1.92 \times 10^{-7} C

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or 87.5 x10^{-3}A

b). 1.78 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\  I=87.5 x10^{-3}A

b).

I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A

A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2}  \\A=5.309x10^{-6}

V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}

How much heat is lost by 2.0 grams of water if the temperature drops from 31 °C to 29 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/
Elanso [62]

Given :

Mass of water, m = 2 grams.

The temperature of water drops from 31 °C to 29 °C .

The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g • °C).

To Find :

Amount of heat lost in this process.

Solution :

We know, heat lost is given by :

Heat\ lost,H = ms( T_f - T_i)\\\\H = 2\times 4.184 \times ( 31 - 29 )\ J\\\\H = 16.736\ J

Therefore, amount of heat lost in this process is 16.736 J.

when a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt, why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?
artcher [175]
I think the answer to your question is that:
There is chemical energy being produced (by the water) and that causes the base of iron to absorb the heat. Then when the heated base of the iron is placed onto the shirt, the heat flattens the wrinkles on it.
