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.

The atomic number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?
Goryan [66]
A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.

For the following statements, choose the word or words inside the parentheses that serve to make a correct statement. Each state
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

a) Temperatura, b) Temperature, c)    Constant , d)  None of these , e) Gibbs enthalpy and free energy (G)

Explanation:

a) the expression for ideal gases is PV = nRT

     Temperature

b) The internal energy is E = K T

      Temperature

c)  S = ΔQ/T

In an isolated system ΔQ is zero, entropy  is constant

       Constant

d) all parameters change when changing status

        None of these

A 1 900-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

471392.4 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Just before contact with the beam,

mgh = Fd.................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the beam, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height. F =  average Force on the beam, d = distance.

make f the subject of the equation

F = mgh/d................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1900 kg, h = 4 m, d = 15.8 = 0.158 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1900(4)(9.8)/0.158

F = 471392.4 N
