A parallel-plate capacitor is charged by connecting it across the terminals of a battery. If the battery remains connected and t

he separation between the plates is increased, what will happen to the charge on the capacitor and the voltage across it?

Answer:

The voltage ( or potential difference) V increases while the charge Q decreases.

Explanation:

The capacitance C of a capacitor is defined as the measure to which the capacitor can store charges. For a parallel-plate capacitor it is given by the following relationship;

C=\frac{\epsilon_o\epsilon_rA}{d}............(1)

where A is the surface area of the plates, d is their distance of separation, \epsilon_o is the permittivity of free space and \epsilon_r is relative permittivity.

Also, the capacitance of a capacitor can be expressed in the form of equation (2)

C=\frac{Q}{V}...................(2)\\

where Q is the charge stored and V is the potential difference.

By combining (1) and (2) and making d the subject of formula, we obtain the following;

d=\frac{\epsilon_o\epsilon_rAV}{Q}............(3)

By observing (3), it is seen that the distance d of separation between the plates is directly proportional to the potential difference V and inversely proportional to the charge stored Q. This implies that an increase in the distance d of separation will bring about an increase the the voltage or potential difference V and a decrease in the charge Q.

Answer plz also give reason
user100 [1]

See this suggested solution.

1. Let a force F' is the vector sum of the forces P and Q, then it is shown on the attached picture and marked with red color.

2. according to the condition the force F holds the object, then F should have the same length as the force F' and the opposite direction.

3. using the conditions described in 2. the answer is C.

Which of the following would increase the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine
kotykmax [81]

Higher wind speeds would increase the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.

<h3>What is a power plant?</h3>

A power plant is an industrial structure that generates electricity. The majority of power plants are linked to the electrical grid.

Stronger winds produce greater power because they enable the blades to revolve more quickly. Greater mechanical and electrical power from the generator result from faster spinning.

Hence, higher wind speeds would increase the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.

To learn more about the power plant, refer to the link;

When an ocean plate converges with another plate, what is created on the seafloor at the line of convergence?
drek231 [11]
When two oceanic plates meet, the process of subduction occurs. During this, the denser plate slips underneath the lighter one, creating a subduction zone. In these subduction zones, a trench is formed. 
Trenches are deep crevices on the ocean floor and are home to many different marine species.<span />

Answer True or False to each case. Coulomb's law states that the force between static charges Q1 and Q2 is K Q1Q2/r2 where K is
Julli [10]

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the force acting on two charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them . Mathematically, it is given by

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Where

k is the electrostatic constant

q₁ and q₂ are charges

r is the distance between them.

The SI unit of electric force is Newton. It can be attractive or repulsive. The attraction or repulsion depend on charges. If both charges are positive, the force is repulsive and if both are opposite charges, the force is attractive.
