Two fully charged cylindrical capacitors are connected to two identical batteries. The capacitors are identical except that the

Leni [432]

Answer:

Part(a): The relative capacitance is $\dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = 0.33$

Part(b): The relative energy stored is $\dfrac{U_{A}}{U_{B}} = 0.33$

Part(c): The relative charge stored is $\dfrac{Q_{A}}{Q_{B}} = 0.33$

Explanation:

We know the capacitance ( $C$ ) of a capacitor having charge ( $Q$ ) and subjected to a potential difference of ( $V$ ) is given by

$C = \dfrac{Q}{V}$

Also, the energy ( $U$ ) stored by a capacitor can be written as

$U = \dfrac{1}{2}C~V^{2}$

Let us assume that the inner radius of the Capacitor B, as shown in the figure, be $\textbf{r_{i}^{B}}$ $\bf{r_{i}^{B}}$ , the outer radius be $\bf{r_{o}^{B}}$ , the inner radius of Capacitor A be $\bf{r_{i}^{A}}$ and the outer radius be $\bf{r_{o}^{B}}$ .

Given in the problem,

$&& r_{o}^{B} = 2~r_{B}^{i}\\&& r_{o}^{A} = 4~r_{B}^{i}\\&& and~r_{i}^{B} = 4~r_{o}^{B} = 8~r_{B}^{i}$

Now, the capacitance ( $C$ ) of a cylindrical capacitor is given by,

$\bf{C = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}~L}{ln(\dfrac{r_{o}}{r_{i}})}}$

where $\epsilon_{o}$ is the permittivity of the free space, $L$ is the length of the cylindrical capacitor.

Part(a):

The capacitance of capacitor A,

$C_{A} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{r_{o}^{A}}{r_{i}^{A}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{8~r_{i}^{B}}{r_{i}^{B}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(8)}$

and the capacitance of capacitor B,

$C_{B} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{r_{o}^{B}}{r_{i}^{B}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(\dfrac{2~r_{i}^{B}}{r_{i}^{B}})} = \dfrac{2~\pi~\epsilon_{0}L}{ln(2)}$

giving the relative capacitance of each capacitor to be

$\dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = \dfrac{ln(2)}{ln(8)} = \dfrac{ln(2)}{3~\ln(2)} = \dfrac{1}{3} = 0.33$

Part(b):

Energy stored by capacitor A,

$U_{A} = \dfrac{1}{2}~C_{A}~V^{2}$

Energy stored by capacitor B,

$U_{B} = \dfrac{1}{2}~C_{B}~V^{2}$

giving the relative energy stored by each capacitor to be

$\dfrac{U_{A}}{U_{B}} = \dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = 0.33$

Part(c):

The charge stored by capacitor A,

$Q_{A} = C_{A}~V$

The charge stored by capacitor B,

$Q_{B} = C_{B}~V$

giving the relative charge stored by each capacitor to be

$\dfrac{Q_{A}}{Q_{B}} = \dfrac{C_{A}}{C_{B}} = 0.33$

Which two types of air masses would likely form a subtropical jet stream?

shepuryov [24]

The exact location of the 'subtropical-jet stream' is located at the North phase of 30 Degrees and the reason behind this is due to the variation of air which lies on the region of mid-altitude and warmer equatorial air. the correct answer would be Cool and Warm air masses meeting near the equator.

A spherically-spreading EM wave comes from a 104.0 W source. At a distance of 9.6 m, what is the intensity of the wave?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Approximately 0.0898 W/m².

Explanation:

The intensity of light measures the power that the light delivers per unit area.

The source in this question delivers a constant power of $\rm 104.0\; W$ . If the source here is a point source, that $\rm 104.0\; W$ of power will be spread out evenly over a spherical surface that is centered at the point source. In this case, the radius of the surface will be 9.6 meters.
