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.

How much charge can be placed on a capacitor with air between the plates before it breaks down if the area of each plate is 4.00
klio [65]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the separation of plate be equal to d and the area of plates is 9 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}. As the capacitance of capacitor is given as follows.

            C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{d}

It is known that the dielectric strength of air is as follows.

               E = 3 \times 10^{6} V/m

Expression for maximum potential difference is that the capacitor can with stand is as follows.

                       dV = E × d

And, maximum charge that can be placed on the capacitor is as follows.

               Q = CV

                   = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A}{d} \times E \times d

                   = \epsilon_{o}AE

                   = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^{6} \times 4 \times 10^{-4}

                   = 1.062 \times 10^{-8} C

or,                = 10.62 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on capacitor is 10.62 nC.

A backpack weighs 8.2 newtons and has a mass of 5kg on the moon. What is the strength of the gravity on the moon?
Pavel [41]
Weight is equivalent to the product of the mass of an object and the strength of the gravitational field.

Using:
F = ma

a = 8.2 / 5
a = 1.64 N/kg

The gravitational field strength is equivalent to 1.64 N/kg.
