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

If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. Wh
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

 v = -v₀ / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.

Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron

            v² = v₀² - 2a y

when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0

           a = v₀² / 2y

now they tell us that the initial velocity is half

          v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’

          v₀ ’= v₀ / 2

at the point where turn v = 0              

          0 = v₀² /4  - 2 a y '

          v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y)  y’

          y = 4 y'

          y ’= y / 4

We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.

         v² = v₀² -2a y’

         v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4

         v² = -v₀² / 4

         v = -v₀ / 2

We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.
