A parallel-plate capacitor connected to a battery becomes fully charged. After the capacitor from the battery is disconnected, t

he separation between the plates of the capacitor is doubled in such a way that no charge leaks off. How is the energy stored in the capacitor affected? A.) The energy stored in the capacitor quadruples its original value. B.) The energy stored in the capacitor remains constant. C.)The energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value. D.)The energy stored in the capacitor is decreased to one-fourth of its original value. E.)The energy stored in the capacitor is decreased to one-half of its original value

Answer:

C.)The energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by:

C₁ = ∈A/d...............................(1)

If the distance between the plates is doubled

C₂ = ∈A/2d.............................(2a)

From equations (1) and (2), the relationship between C₁ and C₂ is:

C₂ = C₁/2....................................(2b)

The original  Energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E₁ = Q²/2C₁...............................(3)

On doubling the separation between the capacitance plates

E₂ = Q²/2C₂...............................(4a)

E₂ = Q²/2  *  1/C₂........................(4b)

Putting equation (2b) into (4b)

E₂ = Q²/2  *  2/C₁

E₂ = Q²/C₁.....................................(5)

Comparing equations (3) and (5)

E₂ = 2E₁

Therefore, the energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value

What sound signal alerts others that a boat is backing up?
inn [45]
"Three short blasts" sound signal alerts others when a boat is backing up based on the boating safety rule. The short blast is a sound which has one second period, thus three short blasts mean three of this kind of sound. The sound signal is used for alerting anything surrounding the boat to avoid a collision.

Which use combustion to release thermal energy?
julia-pushkina [17]
Heat of combustion.<span> The calorific value is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. The chemical reaction is typically a hydrocarbon or other organic molecule reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and release heat.</span>

It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is
Anna35 [415]
(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.

(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
f= \frac{1}{T}
since in our problem the period is T=5.0 s, the frequency is
f= \frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.2 Hz

(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda:
v=f \lambda = (0.2 Hz)(2.5 m)=0.5 m/s
