A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.210 m square, spaced 0.815 cm apart. it is connected to a 120 v battery

. if the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 1.63 cm , suppose the battery remains connected while the plates are pulled apart. part a what is the capacitance?

Answer:

at the beginning: 2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

when the plates are pulled apart: 1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=k \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the permittivity of free space

A is the area of the plates of the capacitor

d is the separation between the plates

In this problem, we have:

A=0.210 m^2 is the area of the plates

d=0.815 cm=8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m is the separation between the plates at the beginning

Substituting into the formula, we find

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m}=2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

Later, the plates are pulled apart to d=1.63 cm=0.0163 m, so the capacitance becomes

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{0.0163 m}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

Discuss velocity by providing at least one example and explain why velocity is either a scalar or vector quantity.
grandymaker [24]
Velocity is speed plus direction, so an example of velocity would be a vehicle traveling at 75mph north. Velocity is a vector quantity because it describes both magnitude and direction.
