Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 4.60 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

$\frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt} =1.1977 *10^{10} \ V\cdot m/s$

$I = 0.106 \ A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The current is $I = 0.106 \ A$

The length of one side of the square $a = 4.60 \ cm = 0.046 \ m$

The separation between the plate is $d = 4.0 mm = 0.004 \ m$

Generally electric flux is mathematically represented as

$\phi_E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}$

differentiating both sides with respect to t is

$\frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt} = \frac{1}{\epsilon_o} * \frac{d Q}{ dt}$

=> $\frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt} = \frac{1}{\epsilon_o} *I$

Here $\epsilon_o$ is the permitivity of free space with value

$\epsilon _o = 8.85*10^{-12} C/(V \cdot m)$

=> $\frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt} = \frac{0.106}{8.85*10^{-12}}$

=> $\frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt} =1.1977 *10^{10} \ V\cdot m/s$

Generally the displacement current between the plates in A

$I = 8.85*10^{-12} * 1.1977 *10^{10}$

=> $I = 0.106 \ A$

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The pole stores elastic potential energy when the pole is bent because its shape is change from its natural shape and it will want to go back to its original form, just like a spring or stretched elastic material.
