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 valu

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Parallel Plate Capacitors are made up of two plates that are connected to each other and there is a set distance between them which is filled with various materials such as air, mika or paper etc. which all affect the capacitance of the capacitor which is it's ability to store electrical charge.

According to the capacitance formula  C=\frac{kEA}{d} where C is the capacitance, k is the value of permittivity of the material between the plates, A is the surface area of the plates, E is the constant value of permittivity of free space and d is the distance between the plates, if we double the value of d, the energy stored in the capacitor will be decreased to half of its original value.

I hope this answer helps.

In the following figure, electric field at y axis will be maximum at y=?
Strike441 [17]

Because of symmetry electric field component in the x axis cancels out. Now just use electric field formula and slap that sine of theta cause you want the vertical component of electric field and multiply that by two since there’s two charges. I’ve shown my work. Hope it helps✌

A ball of mass m on a string of length L is attached to a pivot. The ball is released from rest while the string is parallel to
mash [69]

Answer:

L/2

Explanation:

Neglect any air or other resistant, for the ball can wrap its string around the bar, it must rotate a full circle around the bar. This means the ball should be able to swing to the top position where it's directly above the bar. By the law of energy conservation, this happens when the ball is at the same level as where it's previously released vertically. It means the swinging radius around the bar must be at least half of the string length.

So the distance d between the bar and the pivot should be at least L/2

What is physics and biology​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:Biology is the study of living organisms. Physics is the study of matter and the laws of nature to understand the behavior of matter and the universe. The Biophysical Society explains that, when scientists combine physics and biology, they learn more about biological systems on a molecular or atomic level.
