A parallel-plate, air-gap capacitor has a capacitance of 0.14 mu F. The plates are 0.5 mm apart, What is the area of each plate?

What is the potential difference between the plates if the capacitor is charged to 1.2 mu C? What is the stored energy? How much charge can the capacitor carry before a spark occurs between the two plates (thus discharging the capacitor)?

Answer:

7.9060 m²

8.57 Volts

5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule

1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb

Explanation:

C = Capacitance between plates = 0.14 μF = 0.14×10⁻⁶ F

d = Distance between plates = 0.5 mm = 0.5×10⁻³ m

Q = Charge = 1.2 μC = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C

ε₀ = Permittivity = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

Capacitance

C=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A}{d}\\\Rightarrow A=\frac{Cd}{\epsilon_{0}}\\\Rightarrow A=\frac{0.14\times 10^{-6}\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}{8.854\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow A=7.9060\ m^2

∴ Area of each plate is 7.9060 m²

Voltage

V=\frac{Q}{C}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{1.2\times 10^{-6}}{0.14\times 10^{-6}}\\\Rightarrow V=8.57\ Volts

∴ Potential difference between the plates if the capacitor is charged to 1.2 μC  is 8.57 Volts.

Energy stored

E=0.5CV²

⇒E = 0.5×0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57²

⇒E = 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule

∴ Stored energy is 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule

Charge

Q = CV

⇒Q = 0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57

⇒Q = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C

∴ Charge the capacitor carries before a spark occurs between the two plates is 1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb

A 2.0-kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. A force (magnitude P = 4.0 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to
irinina [24]

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

<h3>Frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface</h3>

The frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface is determined by applying Newton's law;

∑F = ma

F - Ff = ma

Ff = F - ma

Ff = 4 - 2(1.2)

Ff = 4 - 2.4

Ff = 1.6 N

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is calculated as follows;

F - Ff = ma

5 - 1.6 = 2a

3.4 = 2a

a = 3.4/2

a = 1.7 m/s²

Thus, when the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

one mole of water is equivalent to 18 grams of water. a glass of water has a mass of 200 g. how many moles of water is in this?
ehidna [41]
1 mole = 18 g
200 g = glass of water
200 ÷ 18 = 11.1
11.1 moles of water in 200 g (glass of water)

In a series RLC resonance circuit, the resonance frequency f0 = 700 kHz. The resistor R = 10 Ohm. The specified bandwidth (BW) s
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

  • quality factor (Q) = 69.99
  • inductor = 1.591 x 10⁻⁴ H
  • capacitor = 3.248 x 10⁻¹⁰ F

Explanation:

Given;

resonance frequency (F₀) = 700 kHz

resistor, R =  10 Ohm

bandwidth (BW) = 10 kHz

bandwidth (BW)  = \frac{R}{2\pi L}

BW = \frac{R}{2\pi L}

make L (inductor) the subject of the formula

L = \frac{R}{2\pi *BW}  =  \frac{10}{2\pi *10,000} =1.591 *10^{-4} \ H = \ 0.1591\ mH

F_o =\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC} } \\\\\sqrt{LC} = \frac{1}{2\pi F_o} \\\\LC = \frac{1}{4\pi ^2F_o^2}= \frac{1}{4\pi ^2(700,000)^2} = 5.168*10^{-14}

make C (capacitor)  the subject of the formula

C = \frac{5.168*10^{-14}}{1.591*10^{-4}} = 3.248*10^{-10} \ F = \ 3.248*10^{-4} \ \mu F

quality factor (Q) = \frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} \ = \frac{1}{10} \sqrt{\frac{1.591*10^{-4}}{3.248*10^{-10}}}=69.99

quality factor (Q) =  69.99
