State Archimedes' principle

OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force which is exerted on body when immersed whether fully submerged or partially in the fluid is equal to weight of fluid which body displaces and this force acts in upward direction at center of mass of displaced fluid.

Thus,

<u>Weight of the displaced fluid = Weight of the object - Weight of object in fluid.</u>

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 $U$ ,
