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) Calculate the self-inductance (in mH) of a 55.0 cm long, 10.0 cm diameter solenoid having 1000 loops.
DedPeter [7]

Explanation:

(a) We have,

Length of solenoid, l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

Diameter of the solenoid, d = 10 cm

Radius, r = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Number of loops in the solenoid is 1000.

(a) The self inductance in the solenoid is given by :

L=\dfrac{\mu_o N^2A}{l}

A is area

L=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (1000)^2\times \pi (0.05)^2}{0.55}\\\\L=0.0179\ H\\\\L=17.9\ mH

(b) The energy stored in the inductor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0179\times (19.5)^2\\\\E=3.4\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.

You do 120 j of work while pulling your sister back on a swing, whose chain is 5.10 m long. you start with the swing hanging ver
Goryan [66]
The work done to pull the sister back on the swing is equal to the increase in potential energy of the sister:
W= \Delta U = mg \Delta h (1)

where m is the sister's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and \Delta h is the increase in altitude of the sister with respect to its initial position.

By calling \theta the angle of the chain with respect to the vertical, the increase in altitude is given by
\Delta h = L - L \cos \theta = L(1 - \cos \theta) (2)
where L is the length of the chain.

Putting (2) inside (1), we find
W= m g L (1 - \cos \theta)
from which we can find the mass of the sister:
m =  \frac{W}{g L (1 - \cos \theta)} =  \frac{120 J}{(9.81 m/s^2)(5.10 m)(1- \cos 32.0^{\circ})} =15.8 kg

which of these is an example of a biotic factor that could affect the size of a population A-climate b-disease c-a natural disas
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hey there!

Biotic factors are living organisms. This includes plants, animals, and bacteria. Climate, water, and natural disasters are abiotic factors, which means they are nonliving factors that affect the environment. Disease is caused by bacteria, which is a biotic factor.

Therefore, your answer is B) Disease.

Hope this helps!

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?
zubka84 [21]
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.
