Suggest why signals to satellites are transmitted as slightly divergent beam and not as a parallel beam.

I can think of two reasons:

1).  EVERY transmitted radio signal is transmitted as
a divergent beam.  We don't have the technology to
transmit it as a perfectly parallel beam.
That's a good thing, because ...

2).  If it were a perfect pencil-thin parallel beam, then
it would be practically impossible to keep it perfectly
aimed at the satellite.

natima [27]

When the metal spoon comes in contact with the hot soup, heat transfer from hot soup to the spoon because of difference in temperature of the two. The kind of heat transfer represented here is conduction. In conduction, heat is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature when there is a physical contact between the two.

A good heat insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the heat energy
from any heat that flows through it.

A good electrical insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the energy
from any electric current that flows through it.

What area must the plates of a capacitor be if they have a charge of 5.7uC and an electric field of 3.1 kV/mm between them? O 0.
kirill [66]

Answer:

Area of the plates of a capacitor, A = 0.208 m²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on the parallel plate capacitor, q = 5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C

Electric field, E = 3.1 kV/mm = 3100000 V/m

The electric field of a parallel plates capacitor is given by :

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

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

A=\dfrac{5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C}{3100000\ V/m\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}

A = 0.208 m²

So, the area of the plates of a capacitor is 0.208 m². Hence, this is the required solution.
