How should the distance, D, between two point charges, q1 and q2, be changed to double their electric potential energy

Physics
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
6 0

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

u \:  =  \:  \frac{kq1q2}{d}

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"c\" tone, with a frequency of 262 hz. what is the period of the sound wave produced by the sp
jasenka [17]

Answer:

3.82 ms

Explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

where f is the frequency.

In this problem, f = 262 Hz, so the period if this sound wave is

T=\frac{1}{262 Hz}=3.82\cdot 10^{-3} s=3.82ms

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 17.0 cm2 , separated by a distance of 0.150 cm . The material
Llana [10]

Answer:

a) C = 40.138\,pF, b) q = 16.056\,nC, c) U = 3.212\,\mu J

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of two parallel plates capacitor with dielectric is given by the following expression:

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

Where:

K - Dielectric constant.

\epsilon_{o} - Vaccum permitivity.

A - Plate area.

d - Distance between plates.

Hence, the capacitance of the system is:

C = (4.00)\cdot (8.854\times 10^{-12}\,\frac{F}{m} )\cdot \left(\frac{17\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}{0.150\times 10^{-2}\,m}\right)

C = 4.014\cdot 10^{-11}\,F

C = 40.138\,pF

b) The charge can be found by using the definition of capacitance:

q = C\cdot V_{batt}

q = (4.014\times 10^{-11}\,F)\cdot (400\,V)

q = 1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C

q = 16.056\,nC

c) The energy stored in the charged capacitor is:

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot Q\cdot V_{batt}

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C)\cdot (400\,V)

U = 3.212\times 10^{-6}\,J

U = 3.212\,\mu J
