A parallel-plate capacitor initially has a potential difference of 400 V and is then disconnected from the charging battery. If

the plate spacing is now doubled (without changing Q), what is the new value of the voltage?

The capacitance of a capacitor is the ratio of the stored charge to its potential difference, i.e.

C = Q/ΔV

C is the capacitance

Q is the stored charge

ΔV is the potential difference

Rearrange the equation:

ΔV = Q/C

We also know the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C = κε₀A/d

C is the capacitance

κ is the capacitor's dielectric constant

ε₀ is the electric constant

A is the area of the plates

d is the plate separation

If we substitute C:

ΔV = Qd/(κε₀A)

We assume the stored charge and the area of the plates don't change. Then if we double the plate spacing, i.e. we double the value of d, then the potential difference ΔV is also doubled.

Yes, of course! by it's definition the potential energy is an energy that particle have in order to obtain kinetic energy. Or simply an energy to make some movement.

¿Qué tipo de nutrientes proporcionan energía a nuestro organismo?
kow [346]

Answer:

The correct answer is: macronutrients.

Explanation:

Nutrients are chemical substances found in food that, when consumed, allow the development, maintenance and functioning of our body.

Every time you eat a food, your body assimilates, transforms and takes advantage of its nutrients in order to live.

No single food can provide us with all the nutrients that the body needs. Only a healthy, varied and balanced diet will do it.

Types of nutrients :

Nutrients can be essential (the body cannot synthesize them on its own and we must acquire them through food) or non-essential (our body produces them from other components). According to their proportion they are divided into :

  • macronutrients: they occupy most of the food and are consumed in grams. They are carbohydrates or carbohydrates (sugar, vegetables, fruit, cereals, etc); proteins (meat, fish, eggs, milk, etc.), fats or lipids (oils, seeds, nuts, milk and derivatives).
  • micronutrients: we take them in micrograms. In this group we find vitamins and minerals. The main source is fruits and vegetables, although we also get them from most foods.

Water is another essential nutrient, without which we could not live and that helps all the physiological processes of the body to take place.

Nutrients are classified into:

-Energy nutrients: provide the energy the body needs to function. Macronutrients are the main source of energy. Among these are carbohydrates and fats and to a lesser extent proteins.

-Plastic nutrients: involved in the construction of body structures, maintenance and repair of tissues. Proteins and mineral salts belong to this group.

-Regulatory nutrients: participate in the body's regulatory processes. They are vitamins and minerals.

galben [10]
I believe it would be A, (B) just because a women trains doesn't mean she'll bulk, the may become thinner, or more tone. No to C because You have to change up and make workouts more difficult to help improve your body, and no to D because a workout doesn't have to be strenuous, you can be careful and not crazy about working out and still help your body. hope this helped
