Answer:

a) Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b) V_1 = V_2 = (16/3) * 10^2 V

c) E = 64/15 J

d) dE = 32/15 J of decrease

Explanation:

Given:

- Capacitor 1, C_1 = 20.0 uF

- Capacitor 2, C_2 = 10.0 uF

- Charged with P.d V = 800 V

Find:

a) the original charge of the system,

(b) the ﬁnal potential difference across each capacitor

(c) the ﬁnal energy of the system

(d) the decrease in energy when the capacitors are connected.

Solution:

a)

- The initial charge in the circuit is the one carried by the first charged capacitor.

Q_initial = C_1*V

Q_initial = 20*10^-6 * 800

Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b)

- After charging the other capacitor, we know that the total charge is conserved among two capacitor:

Q_initial = Q_1 + Q_2

- We also know that potential difference across two capacitor is also same.

V_1 = V_2 = Q_1 / C_1 = Q_2 / C_2

- Using the two equations and solve for charge Q_2:

Q_2 = Q_1*C_2/C_1

Q_2 = Q_1*10/20 = 0.5*Q_1

- using conservation of charge:

Q_initial = 1.5*Q_1

Q_1 = 16*10^-3 / 1.5 = 10.67*10^-3 C

- Hence the Voltage across each capacitor is:

V_2 = V_1 = Q_1 / C_1

= 10.67*10^-3 / 20*10^-6

= (16/3) * 10^2 V

c)

- The energy in the system is:

E = 0.5*C_eq*V^2

Where, C_eq is the equivalent capacitance of paralle circuit.

E = 0.5*(20+10)*10^-6 *((16/3) * 10^2)^2

E = 64/15 J

d)

- The decrease in energy of the capacitors is:

dE = E_initial - E_final

Where, E_initial is due to charging of the C_1 only:

dE = 0.5*10^-6*20*800^2 - (64/15)

dE = 32/5 - 64/15 = 32/15 J

An aluminium alloy tube has a length of 750 mm at a temperature of 223°C. What will be its length at 23°C if its coefficient of

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Final length= 746.175 mm

Explanation:

Given that Length of aluminium at 223 C is 750 mm.As we know that when temperature of material increases or decreases then dimensions of material also increases or decreases respectively with temperature.

Here temperature of aluminium decreases so the final length of aluminium decreases .

As we know that

$\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T$

Now by putting the values

$\Delta L=750\times \25.5\times 10^{-6}\times 200$

ΔL=3.82 mm

So final length =750-3.82 mm

Final length= 746.175 mm

Miller Indices:

svetlana [45]

Answer:

A) The sketches for the required planes were drawn in the first attachment [1 2 1] and the second attachment [1 2 -4].

B) The closest distance between planes are d₁₂₁=a/√6 and d₁₂₋₄=a/√21 with lattice constant a.

C) Five posible directions that electrons can move on the surface of a [1 0 0] silicon crystal are: |0 0 1|, |0 1 3|, |0 1 1|, |0 3 1| and |0 0 1|.

Compleated question:

1. Miller Indices:

a. Sketch (on separate plots) the (121) and (12-4) planes for a face centered cubic crystal structure.

b. What are the closest distances between planes (called d₁₂₁ and d₁₂₋₄)?

c. List five possible directions (using the Miller Indices) the electron can move on the surface of a (100) silicon crystal.

Explanation:

A)To draw a plane in a face centered cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- the cube has 3 main directions called "a", "b" and "c" (as shown in the first attachment) and the planes has 3 main coeficients shown as [l m n]

2- The coordinates of that plane are written as: π:[1/a₀ 1/b₀ 1/c₀] (if one of the coordinates is 0, for example [1 1 0], c₀ is ∞, therefore that plane never cross the direction c).

3- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ at the plane that crosses this main directions and point them in the cubic cell.

4- Join the points.

<u>In this case, for [1 2 1]:</u>

$l=1=1/a_0 \rightarrow a_0=1$

$m=2=2/b_0 \rightarrow b_0=0.5$

$n=1=1/c_0 \rightarrow c_0=1$

<u>for </u> $[1 2 \overline{4}]$ <u>:</u>

$l=1=1/a_0 \rightarrow a_0=1$

$m=2=2/b_0 \rightarrow b_0=0.5$

$n=\overline{4}=-4/c_0 \rightarrow c_0=-0.25$

B) The closest distance between planes with the same Miller indices can be calculated as:

With $\pi:[l m n]$ ,the distance is $d_{lmn}= \displaystyle \frac{a}{\sqrt{l^2+m^2+n^2}}$ with lattice constant a.

<u>In this case, for [1 2 1]:</u>

<u /> $d_{121}= \displaystyle \frac{a}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+1^2}}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{6}}=0.41a$ <u />

<u>for </u> $[1 2 \overline{4}]$ <u>:</u>

$d_{12\overline{4}}= \displaystyle \frac{a}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+(-4)^2}}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{21}}=0.22a$

C) The possible directions that electrons can move on a surface of a crystallographic plane are the directions contain in that plane that point in the direction between nuclei. In a silicon crystal, an fcc structure, in the plane [1 0 0], we can point in the directions between the nuclei in the vertex (0 0 0) and e nuclei in each other vertex. Also, we can point in the direction between the nuclei in the vertex (0 0 0) and e nuclei in the center of the face of the adjacent crystals above and sideways. Therefore:

dir₁=|0 0 1|

dir₂=|0 0.5 1.5|≡|0 1 3|

dir₃=|0 1 1|

dir₄=|0 1.5 0.5|≡|0 3 1|

dir₅=|0 0 1|
