Describe the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of thermal energy transfer and provide an example of each.

Physics
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
4 0

The difference between conductors and insulators is because of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.

 

Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor where free electrons help in conduction.

 

In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.

 

Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.

 

Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.

series RC circuit is built with a 15 kΩ resistor and a parallel-plate capacitor with 18-cm-diameter electrodes. A 18 V, 36 kHz s
andre [41]

Answer:

d=1.84\ mm

Explanation:

<u>Capacitance</u>

A two parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of

\displaystyle C=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}

where

\epsilon_o=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}\ F/m

A = area of the plates = \pi r^2

d = separation of the plates

\displaystyle d=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{C}=\frac{\epsilon_o \pi r^2}{C}

We need to compute C. We'll use the circuit parameters for that. The reactance of a capacitor is given by

\displaystyle X_c=\frac{1}{wC}

where w is the angular frequency

w=2\pi f=2\pi \cdot 36000=226194.67\ rad/s

Solving for C

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{wX_c}

The reactance can be found knowing the total impedance of the circuit:

Z^2=R^2+X_c^2

Where R is the resistance, R=15 K\Omega=15000\Omega. Solving for Xc

X_c^2=Z^2-R^2

The magnitude of the impedance is computed as the ratio of the rms voltage and rms current

\displaystyle Z=\frac{V}{I}

The rms current is the peak current Ip divided by \sqrt{2}, thus

\displaystyle Z=\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}

I_p=0.65\ mA/1000=0.00065\ A

Now collect formulas

\displaystyle X_c^2=Z^2-R^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}\right)^2-R^2

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2V^2}{I_p^2}-R^2}

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 18^2}{0.00065^2}-15000^2}

X_c=36176.34\ \Omega

The capacitance is now

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{226194.67\cdot 36176.34}=1.22\cdot 10^{-10}\ F

The radius of the plates is

r=18\ cm/2=9 \ cm = 0.09 \ m

The separation between the plates is

\displaystyle d=\frac{8.85\cdot 10^{-12} \cdot \pi\cdot 0.09^2}{1.22\cdot 10^{-10}}

d=0.00184\ m

\boxed{d=1.84\ mm}

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot
Dahasolnce [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage.  If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.

A passenger in a train accelerating smoothly away from a station observes that a child’s yo-yo hanging by its string from a lugg
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

3.0 cm

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the yo-yo.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and tension force T pulling up 10° from the vertical.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

T cos 10° − mg = 0

T cos 10° = mg

T = mg / cos 10°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T sin 10° = ma

mg tan 10° = ma

g tan 10° = a

a = 1.73 m/s²

Draw a free body diagram of the sphere.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and air resistance D pushing up.  At terminal velocity, the acceleration is 0.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

D − mg = 0

D = mg

½ ρₐ v² C A = ρᵢ V g

½ ρₐ v² C (πr²) = ρᵢ (4/3 πr³) g

3 ρₐ v² C = 8 ρᵢ r g

r = 3 ρₐ v² C / (8 ρᵢ g)

r = 3 (1.3 kg/m³) (100 m/s)² (0.47) / (8 (7874 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²))

r = 0.030 m

r = 3.0 cm
