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.

Colt1911 [192]

1) Distance: 9 m, displacement: +5 m

2) The average speed is 3 m/s

3) The average velocity is +2 m/s

Explanation:

1)

We start by reminding the definitions of distance and displacement:

- Distance: it is the total length of the path covered by an object, regardless of the direction of motion

- Displacement: is the distance in a straight line between the initial position and final position of motion

Let's now analyze the motion represented in the figure:

Initial position: x_0 = -1 m

Intermediate position: x_1 = +6 m

Final position: x_2 = +4 m

Therefore, the distance covered is

distance = |x_1-x_0|+|x_2-x_1|=|+6-(-1)|+|+4-(+6)|=7+2=9 m

While the displacement is:

displacement = x_2 - x_1 = +4 - (-1) = +5 m

2)

The average speed is a scalar quantity defined as

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

For the object in this problem,

d = 6 m

t = 2 s

Substituting, we find the average speed:

speed = \frac{6 m}{2 s}=3 m/s

3)

The average velocity is a vector quantity defined as

velocity = \frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time interval

For the object in this problem,

d = +12 m

t = 6 s

Substituting, we find the average velocity:

velocity=\frac{+12 m}{6s}=+2 m/s

Where the positive sign + indicates the direction of the velocity vector.

PHYSICS. <br> ……………………………………………….
belka [17]

Answer:

Work, W = F * d, and

Work = change in kinetic energy, so W=deltaKE.

Hence,

deltaKE=F * d

(1/2)*m*v^2 =F * d

d=[(1/2)*m*v^2]/F

d=[(1/2)*0.6*20^2]/5

d=24 m.

Explanation:

Work = change in kinetic energy, so W=deltaKE.

For atomic hydrogen, the Paschen series of lines occurs when nf = 3, whereas the Brackett series occurs when nf = 4 in the equat
zvonat [6]

Answer:

(\lambda_{max} )_{brackett} < (\lambda_{min} )_{paschen}

So the two wavelength range will over lap

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation is given by

\frac{1}{\lambda} =\frac{2\pi mk^2e^4}{h^3c} t (\frac{1}{n^2_f}-\frac{1}{n^2_i}  )

m is the mass of electron

k = 1/4π∈₀

∈₀ = is the permitivity of free space

e is the charge of electron

h is the plank constant

c is the speed of light in vaccum

z is the atomic number = 1

\frac{1}{\lambda} =R (\frac{1}{n^2_f}-\frac{1}{n^2_i}  )

where R is the  Rydberg constant = 1.097373 × 10⁷m⁻¹

For  Paschen series of H spectrum

n_f = 3

n_i = 5,6,7 ...

in Paschen series of H spectrum

The maximum wavelength occur for n_i = 4

\frac{1}{\lambda_m_a_x } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=1874.6nm

The minimum wavelength occur for n_i = ∞

\frac{1}{\lambda_m_i_n } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{_o_o} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=820.14nm

The brackett series of H spectrum

The maximum wavelength occur for n_i = 4

\frac{1}{\lambda_m_a_x } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{25} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=4050.05nm

The minimum wavelength occur for n_i = ∞

\frac{1}{\lambda_m_i_n } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{_o_o} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=1458.03nm

(\lambda_{max} )_{brackett} < (\lambda_{min} )_{paschen}

So the two wavelength range will over lap
