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.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

I think they cross the line when they force sports into their child's life, and take away their choice of what they want to do so they essentially waste their childhood preparing for something that may never happen or they just don't get the opportunity to explore their artistic abilities.

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers d=1.6\ m

Distance of person from one speaker x_1=3\ m

Distance of person from second speaker x_2=3.5\ m

Path difference between the waves is given by

x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}

3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}

\lambda =0.5\times 2

\lambda =1\ m

frequency is given by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda }

where v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)

f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. m=1 and m=2

3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m

frequency corresponding to this is

f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz

for m=2

3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}

f_3=1715\ Hz
