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

When a wave is acted upon by an external damping force what happens to the energy of the wave
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually

Explanation:

when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.

The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.

So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: The HUMAN EYE

Explanation:

The human eye is made up of different parts which ranges from controlling the amount of light that enters the eye to the focusing of the image that is formed. The camera is a device which is both mechanically and electronically operated which shares a number of similarities with the eye.

In the human eye, the IRIS helps to regulate the amount of rays passing through the pupil to the lens by either contracting or dilating in light or dark environment respectively. While in the camera, the DIAPHRAGM controls the amount of light entering the camera.

The PUPIL serves as the passage for light into the eye while in the camera, the APERTURE does the same.

The photosensitive surface in the eye is the YELLOW SPOT while in the camera, the photosensitive surface is the PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM.
