Answer:

V_1=8 V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
  • separation distance of capacitor 2, d_2=d
  • separation distance of capacitor 1, d_1=2d
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 2, Q_2=Q
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 1, Q_1=4Q

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}.....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}

For capacitor 1:

C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}

C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

V=\frac{Q}{C}..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}

V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

& for capacitor 1:

V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}

V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]

V_1=8 V_2

A stoplight with weight 100 N is suspended at the midpoint of a cable strung between two posts 200 m apart. The attach points fo
Tasya [4]

There are 3 forces acting on the stoplight:

• its weight <em>W</em>, with magnitude <em>W</em> = 100 N, pointing directly downward

• two tension forces <em>T</em>₁ and <em>T</em>₂ with equal magnitude <em>T</em>₁ = <em>T</em>₂ = <em>T</em> = 1000 N, both making an angle of <em>θ</em> with the horizontal, but one points left and the other points right

The stoplight is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on it is 0, such that

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em>₁ sin(<em>θ</em>) + <em>T</em>₂ sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) - <em>W</em> = 0

We have sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) for all <em>θ</em>, so the above reduces to

2<em>T</em> sin(<em>θ</em>) = <em>W</em>

2 (1000 N) sin(<em>θ</em>) = 100 N

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 0.05

<em>θ</em> ≈ 2.87°

If <em>y</em> is the vertical distance between the stoplight and the ground, then

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

Solve for <em>y</em> :

tan(2.87°) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

<em>y</em> = 15 m - (100 m) tan(2.87°)

<em>y</em> ≈ 9.99 m

A wedge shaped air film is made between two sheets of glass using a spacer at one end of the glass sheets. If light of wavelengt
pychu [463]

Answer:

1178 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of light=\lambda=589nm=589\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

We have to find the thickness of spacer if five dark fringes are observed between the edges of the glass.

Suppose that first dark fringe and fifth dark fringe near spacer, then the path length of light is 4 times the wavelength of light.

The light passes through air film is two times  then the change in air film thickness  from one edge to other is two times the wavelength of light.

Change in air film thickness  from one edge to other edge  is same as the thickness of spacer.

Therefore, thickness of spacer=2\lambda

Thickness of spacer=2\times 589\times 10^{-9}m

Thickness of spacer=1178 nm

Hence, the thickness of spacer=1178 nm
