A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 0.40 m2 and plate separation of 0.20 mm. The capacitor is connected to a 9.0 V bat
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

a) E = 4.5*10⁴ V/m

b) C= 17.7 nF

c) Q = 159. 3 nC  

Explanation:

a)

  • By definition, the electric field is the electrostatic force per unit charge, and since the potential difference between plates is just the work done by the field, divided by the charge, assuming a uniform electric field, if V is the potential difference between plates, and d is the separation between plates, the electric field can be expressed as follows:

       E = \frac{V}{d} = \frac{9.0V}{2*10-4m} =4.5 * 10e4 V/m (1)

b)

  • For a parallel-plate capacitor, applying the definition of capacitance as the quotient between the charge on one of the plates and the potential difference between them, and assuming a uniform surface charge density σ, we get:

       Q = \sigma* A (2)

        From (1), we know that V = E*d, but at the same time, applying Gauss'

        Law at a closed surface half within the plate, half outside it , it can be

        showed than E= σ/ε₀, so finally we get:

       C = \frac{Q}{V} =\frac{\sigma*A}{E*d}  = \frac{\sigma*A}{\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{o} } d} =\frac{\epsilon_{0}*A}{d} = \frac{8.85e-12F/m*0.4m2}{2e-4m} = 17.7 nF (3)

c)    

  • From (3) we can solve for Q as follows:

       Q = C* V = 17.7 nF * 9.0 V = 159.3 nC  (4)

A 1 kg object sits on the earth’s surface. What is the force of gravity between the object and the earth? (mass of the earth = 5
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

9.81N

Explanation:

the force of attraction is given by

F=<u>GmM</u><u>/</u><u>R²</u><u> </u>

where m is mass of the body

M is mass of the earth

R is radius of the earth

G is the universal gravitational constant(6.67x10-¹¹)

hence we substitute the values in the formula.

The temperature at the surface of the Sun is approximately 5,300 K, and the temperature at the surface of the Earth is approxima
N76 [4]

Answer:

The entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

Explanation:

Given;

temperature of the sun, T_s = 5,300 K

temperature of the Earth, T_E = 293 K

radiation energy transferred by the sun to the earth, E = 6000 J

The sun loses Q of heat and therefore decreases its entropy by the amount

\delta S_{sun} = \frac{-Q}{T_s}

The earth gains Q of heat and therefore increases its entropy by the amount

\delta S_{Earth} = \frac{-Q}{T_E}

The total entropy change is:

\delta S_{Earth} + \delta S_{sun} = \frac{Q}{T_E} -\frac{Q}{T_S} \\\\                                                      = Q(\frac{1}{T_E} -\frac{1}{T_S} )\\\\= 6000(\frac{1}{293} -\frac{1}{5300} )\\\\=6000(0.0032243)\\\\= 19.346 \ J/K

Therefore, the entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K
