Answer:

number of electron transferred is 4.31\times 10^{11} electron

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of the parallel plate capacitor is

A = 0.051 × 0.051 m

Electric field for parallel capacitor is

E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}

E =  \frac{Q}{A \epsilon}

Q = EA\epsilon

  = 3\times 10^{6} \times 0.0026 (8.854\times 10^{-12}})    [tex]= 6.90 \times 10^{-8}

   =69 \times 10^{-9}

C = 69 nC

  Q = ne

n = \frac{69 \times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 4.31\times 10^{11}

therefore number of electron transferred is 4.31\times 10^{11} electron

Answer:

n=4.31\times 10^{11}              

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field due to the spark, E=3\times 10^6\ N/C

Dimensions of the parallel-plate capacitor is 5.1 cm × 5.1 cm.

The area of the parallel plate, A=26.01\ cm^2=0.002601\ m^2

The electric field due to the parallel plate capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}

q=EA\epsilon_o

q=3\times 10^6\times 0.002601\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}

q=6.90\times 10^{-8}\ C

Let n is the number of electrons that must transferred from one plate to the other to create a spark between the plates. It can be calculated as :

q=ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{6.90\times 10^{-8}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n=4.31\times 10^{11}

So, the number of electrons must be transferred from one plate to the other is 4.31\times 10^{11}. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the Gravitational Potential Energy of a 30 kg box lifted 1.5 meters off the ground?
juin [17]

Answer:

<h2>441 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 30 × 9.8 × 1.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>441 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

In the Hydrogen atom, the energy spacing between the is 4.07 x 101 J (Joules). When an is the frequency of the photons emitted?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The frequency of the photon is 3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E=4.07\times10^{-19}\ J

We need to calculate the energy

Using relation of energy

E_{4}-E_{2}=\Delta E

Where, \Delta E =  energy spacing

4h\nu-2h\nu=4.07\times10^{-19}

\nu=\dfrac{4.07\times10^{-19}}{2h}

Put the value of h into the formula

\nu=\dfrac{4.07\times10^{-19}}{2\times6.63\times10^{-34}}

\nu=3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of the photon is 3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz.

g A ball thrown straight up into the air is found to be moving at 7.94 m/s after falling 2.72 m below its release point. Find th
kati45 [8]

The ball has height <em>y</em> and velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t</em> according to

<em>y</em> = <em>v</em>₀ <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em> ²

and

<em>v</em> = <em>v</em>₀ - <em>g t</em>

where <em>v</em>₀ is its initial speed and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball is falling with a velocity of 7.94 m/s when it's 2.72 m below the release point, which at time <em>t </em>such that

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀ <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em> ²

-7.94 m/s = <em>v</em>₀ - <em>g t</em>

Solve for <em>t</em> in the second equation:

<em>t </em>= (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)/<em>g</em>

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for <em>v</em>₀ :

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀ (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s) /<em>g</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> ((<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)/<em>g</em>)²

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀²/<em>g</em> + (7.94 m/s) <em>v</em>₀/<em>g</em> - 1/2 (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)²/<em>g</em>

2 (-2.72 m) <em>g</em> = 2<em>v</em>₀² + 2 (7.94 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ - (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)²

2 (-2.72 m) (9.80 m/s²) = 2<em>v</em>₀² + (15.9 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ - (<em>v</em>₀² + (15.9 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ + 63.0 m²/s²)

-53.3 m²/s² = <em>v</em>₀² - 63.0 m²/s²

<em>v</em>₀² = 9.73 m²/s²

<em>v</em>₀ = 3.12 m/s

Gauss’ law: a. Relates the surface charge density to the electric field.b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surf
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the flux of certain fields through a closed surface is proportional to the magnitude of the sources of that field within the same surface. The electric flux expresses the measure of the electric field that crosses a certain surface. Therefore, the electric field on a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed by that surface.
