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

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.

Which bright solar feature is shown in the picture above?
Ghella [55]

Answer : (B) Prominence

Explanation :

A large, glittering and gaseous characteristic which is extending outward from the surface of the sun is called <em>Prominence</em>.

<em>Photosphere</em> is one of the layer of sun where the prominence are anchored and then they move into the corona of the sun.

<em>Corona</em> is a region in the surface of the sun which is the constituent of hot ionized gases (plasma).

The prominence consists of colder plasma and this prominence plasma is much more shining and denser as compared to coronal plasma.

Hence, the correct option is (B) Prominence.

What is the kinetic energy of a 120-cm thin uniform rod with a mass of 450 g that is rotating about its center at 3.60 rad/s?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

1.05 J.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as

Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.

But,

v = αr .......................... Equation 2

Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.

Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 3.6(0.6)

v = 2.16 m/s.

Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)

Ek = 1.05 J.
