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.

Un movil de masa 12Kg sobre el cual estan actuando varias fuerzas F_1=48N, F_2=60N y F_3=30N Calcular la aceleracion con la cual
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Lamentablemente el problema está incompleto, pues no sabemos la dirección en la que se aplican las fuerzas. Por ello, voy a resolver el problema asumiendo dos casos. (abajo se puede ver una imagen donde se describe cada caso)

1) Todas las fuerzas están en la misma dirección.

Entonces la fuerza neta será la suma de las 3 fuerzas, entonces:

F = 48N + 60N + 30N = 138N

Y por la segunda ley de Newton sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza igual a masa por aceleración.

Entonces la aceleración está dada por:

a = F/m = 138N/12kg = 11.5 m/s^2

2) Segundo caso, suponemos que F1 es opuesta a F2 y F3

En este caso, la fuerza neta será:

F = F2 + F3 - F1 = 60N + 30N - 48N = 42N

En este caso, la aceleración será:

a = 42N/12kg = 3.5 m/s^2

Which is one way scientists indicate how precise and accurate there experimental measurements are
kherson [118]
They do the method 3 times to be sure. Because if you do it once, that could mean anything. If you do it twice, it may or may not have the same result. If you do it 3 times and it matches one of the previous answers, then it's likely that it's correct.
