The weight could be different, metals have a higher mass than nonmetals, so when occupying the same amount of space, the weight of the metal is far more.

A parallel plate capacitor is charged up by a battery. The battery is then disconnected, but the charge remains on the plates. T
Mazyrski [523]

Given a capacitor that is charge by a battery

So when the battery was disconnect, the charge remains on the capacitor

One plate will have positive charge

And the other will have a negative charge but of same magnitude

Now, the plates are pulled apart, so the distance between them was extended

a. The capacitance of the capacitor?

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as

C = εo•A/d

Where C is the capacitance

εo is permissivity, a constant

A is are of plate

d is the distance apart

From the formula we notice that

Capacitance is inversely proportional to distance, so this implies that as the distance is increase, the capacitance is reduce.

Capacitance Decreases

b. Potential difference?

The potential difference is given as

q = CV

V = q/C

Or V=Ed

Where E is electric field

So the potential difference is inversely proportional to the capacitance, so we know that the capacitance is reducing, then voltage will increase.

Or, using the second relations

V=Ed, voltage is directly proportional to distance, So, if the distance apart is increasing then, the voltage is increasing

Voltage is increasing

c. Electric field between plate.

The electric field is given as

E = kQ/r²

So the electric field is inversely proportional to the distance square, so as the distance is an increase, the electric field is decreased.

Electric field decreases

d. Electric potential energy?

U = ½CV², then, q = CV

Then, U = ½qV

The electric potential energy is directly proportional to the voltage and since the voltage is increasing due to increase in distance, then the electric potential energy increases.

Rogue waves are created along the "Wild Coast" off the southeast coast of ________, where the Agulhas Current flows directly aga
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Africa

Explanation:

A rogue wave refers to the wave that is twice the height of a significant wave occurring in a particular area. The significant wave height is generally referred to as the mean of the largest one-third of waves existing at a particular time period. In simple words, a rogue wave is much larger than any other waves that occur at the proximity of the same time.

This rough wave describes the interaction between the ocean and sea current and swelling of waves. It takes place when the large swells in the ocean, also known as the Antarctic storms, strikes with the rapidly traveling Agulhas current, and the curved water current focuses on the energy of the waves.

Thus, these Rogue waves are often generated along the southeastern coastal regions of Africa, where there occurs the convergence of Antarctic storm waves and Agulhas Current.
