A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t

he capacitor if a mica dielectric is placed between the plates? Assume the mica is 2.0 mm thick (and therefore fills the space between the plates).The charges on the plates are equal and opposite and of magnitude 240 μC .

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by (8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 \mu c

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C=\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F

Stored energy, E is given by

E=\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J

A thin film soap bubble (n=1.35) is floating in air. If the thickness of the bubble wall is 300nm, which of the following wavele
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

540 nm

Explanation:

According to the question,

The refractive index of the soap bubble, n=1.35.

The thickness of the soap bubble wall is, t=300 nm.

Now, for constructive interference of soap bubble.

2nt=(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda.

Now for first order m=1.

Therfore,

\lambda =\frac{4}{3} tn

Substitute all the variables in the above equation.

\lambda =\frac{4}{3} (1.35)(300 nm).

Therefore,

\lambda =540 nm.

Therefore the visible light wavelength which is strongly reflected is 540 nm.
