A cylindrical capacitor has an inner conductor of radius 2.7 mmmm and an outer conductor of radius 3.1 mmmm. The two conductors

are separated by vacuum, and the entire capacitor is 3.0 mm long.
(a) What is the capacitance per unit length?

(b) The potential of the inner conductor is 350 mV higher than that of the outer conductor. Find the charge (magnitude and sign) on both conductors.

Answer:

(A) Capacitance per unit length = 4.02 \times 10^{-10}

(B) The magnitude of charge on both conductor is Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19} C and the sign of charge on inner conductor is +Q and the sign on outer conductor is -Q

Explanation:

Given :

Radius of inner part of conductor  (R_{1}) = 2.7 \times 10^{-3} m

Radius of outer part of conductor  (R_{2}) = 3.1 \times 10^{-3} m

The length of the capacitor (l) = 3 \times 10^{-3} m

(A)

Capacitance is purely geometrical property. It depends only on length, radius of conductor.

From the formula of cylindrical capacitor,      

     C = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} l }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }

Where, \epsilon_{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

But we need capacitance per unit length so,

     \frac{C}{l}  = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o}  }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }

capacitance per unit length = \frac{6.28 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} }{ln(1.148)} = 4.02 \times 10^{-10}

(B)

The charge on both conductors is given by,

     Q = C \Delta V

Where, C = capacitance of cylindrical capacitor and value of C = 12.06 \times 10^{-13} F, \Delta V = 350 \times 10^{-3} V

∴ Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19} C

The magnitude of charge on both conductor is same as above but the sign of charge is different.

Charge on inner conductor is +Q and Charge on outer conductor is -Q.

The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p
NISA [10]

Answer:

a)  The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be v_{s} = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be v_{r} = 2.5 m/s

S = v_{r} t

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\

v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s

The vertical displacement is given by, y = v_{y} t

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, x = v_{x} t

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be
Novosadov [1.4K]
It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
          = kg      *  ms⁻²
          = kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
       kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity =20m/s-5m/s=15m/s

So,Time to go upstream

(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity =20m/s+5m/s=25m/s

So,Time to go downstream

(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s

So, total time (t) = t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s

Option E is the correct answer.
