Answer:

Part A: 7500 V

Part B: 2.899×10⁻³ m²

Part C: 10.27 pF or 10.27×10⁻¹² F

Explanation:

Part A:

Applying,

E = V/d................ Equation 1

Where E = electric field intensity between the plates, V = potential difference between the plates, d = distance of separation between the plates

make V the subject of the equation above,

V = Ed............. Equation 2

Given: E = 3.0×10⁶ V/m, d = 2.5 mm = 2.5×10⁻³ m

Substitute into equation 2

V =  3.0×10⁶ (2.5×10⁻³ )

V = 7.5×10³ V

V = 7500 V

Part B:

Using,

E = Q/(e₀A).................... Equation 3

Where Q = Charge on each plate of the capacitor, A = Area of each plate, e₀ = constant = dielectric = permitivity of free space

make A the subject of the equation,

A = Q/(e₀E).............. Equation 4

Given: Q = 77 nC = 77×10⁻⁹ C, E = 3.0×10⁶ V/m

Constant: e₀ = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

Substitute into equation 4

A = 77×10⁻⁹/(8.854×10⁻¹²× 3.0×10⁶)

A = 77×10⁻⁹/(26.562×10⁻⁶)

A = 2.899×10⁻³ m²

A = 2.899×10⁻³ m².

Part C:

Using,

Q = CV.................. Equation 5

Where C = Capacitance of the capacitor

make C the subject of the equation

C = Q/V.............. Equation 6

Given: Q = 77 nC = 77×10⁻⁹ C, V = 7500 V

Substitute into equation 6

C = 77×10⁻⁹/7500

C = 10.27×10⁻¹² F

C = 10.27 pF

What are the top two gasses in the earth’s atmosphere ?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Nitrogen and oxygen are by far the most common; dry air is composed of about 78% nitrogen (N2) and about 21% oxygen (O2). Argon, carbon dioxide (CO2), and many other gases are also present in much lower amounts; each makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere's mixture of gases.

A slit of width 2.0 μm is used in a single slit experiment with light of wavelength 650 nm. If the intensity at the central maxi
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

Explanation:

The intensity of light I = I₀(sinα/α)² where α = πasinθ/λ

I₀ = maximum intensity of light

a = slit width = 2.0 μm = 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m

θ = angle at intensity point = 10°

λ = wavelength of light = 650 nm = 650 × 10⁻⁹ m

α = πasinθ/λ

= π(2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m)sin10°/650 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 1.0911/650 × 10³

= 0.001679 × 10³

= 1.679

Now, the intensity I is

I = I₀(sinα/α)²

= I₀(sin1.679/1.679)²

= I₀(0.0293/1.679)²

= 0.0175²I₀

= 0.0003063I₀

= 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

So, the intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀
