A spherical capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has a radi

us of ra = 12.3 cm , and the outer sphere has a radius of rb = 15.1 cm . A potential difference of 120 V is applied to the capacitor.
(a) What is the capacitance of the capacitor?
(b) What is the magnitude E1 of the electric field E? at radius r= 12.8cm, just outside the inner sphere?
(c) What is the magnitude of E? at r= 14.7cm, just inside the outer sphere?

Answer: a) 73.41 10^-12 F; b)4.83* 10^3 N/C; c) 3.66 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the following: The Capacity= Charge/Potential Difference

As we know the capacity is  value that depend on the geometry of the capacitor, in our case two concentric spheres.

So Potential Difference between the spheres is given by:

ΔV=-\int\limits^a_b {E} \, dx

Where E = k*Q/ r^2

so we have \int\limits^a_b {K+Q1/r} \, dr

then

Vb-Va=k*Q(1/b-1/a)=kQ (ab/b-a)

Finally using C=Q/ΔV=ab/(k(b-a))

To caclulate the electric firld we first obtain the charge

Q=ΔV*C=120 V*73.41 10^-12 F=8.8 10^-9 C

so E=KQ/r^2 for both values of r

r=12.8 cm ( in meters)

r2=14.7 cm

E(r1)=4.83* 10^3 N/C

E(r2)=3.66 *10^3 N/C

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?
alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.

A spring is used as part of a lift system and follows Hooke's law. If the spring is
salantis [7]

Answer:

1.05m or 105cm

Explanation:

Using the hooke's law equation as follows;

F = –k.x

Where;

F = force (N)

x = extension length (m)

k = constant of proportionality (N/m)

According to the information given in this question;

Displacement (x) = 85cm = 85/100 = 0.85m

Force = 12500N

Using F = kx, we find the proportionality constant

k = F/x

K = 12500/0.85

K = 14705.8N/m.

Also, since K = 14705.8N/m, the displacement (x), when the force increases to 15500N is;

F = kx

x = F/k

x = 15500/14705.8

x = 1.05m or 105cm
