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?

Damm [24]3 years ago

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.

Polly is pushing a box across the floor with a force of 30 N. The force of gravity is -8 in, and the normal force is eight in. W
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

A. -30 N

Explanation:

not sure but if the box isn't moving then the force opposite of Polly would be equal to the force she's exerting.

Which of the following describes the relationship of conductance to a conductor?
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>The answer is The conductance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.</span>  <span>Conductance is directly related to the ease offered by any material to the passage of electric current. Conductance is the opposite of resistance. The higher the conductance, the lower the resistance and vice versa, the greater the resistance, the less conductance, so both are inversely proportional</span>

Which of the following is a nonferromagnetic material? (a) aluminum (b) iron (c) cobalt (d) gadolinium
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances.  Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.

A ball of clay falls freely to a concrete floor. The ball does not bounce noticeably, and it quickly comes to rest. What has hap
omeli [17]

Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

1. A 700 kg satellite is in orbit 2.4 x 106 meters from the center of the Earth. What is the force of
nevsk [136]

Answer:

4.8 \cdot 10^4 N

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on the satellite is given by:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the satellite

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre

Here we have

m = 700 kg

r=2.4\cdot 10^6 m

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(700)}{(2.4\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.8 \cdot 10^4 N

<em>Note that the distance mentioned in the problem (2.4 x 10^6 meters) is not realistic, since it is less than the radius of the Earth (6.37 x 10^6 meters).</em>
