A parallel plate capacitor is attached to a battery to create a potential difference of 12V The battery is then disconnected and

a dielectric material is inserted to fill the gap with no loss of charge. A voltmeter then reads a difference of 3V 1. What is the dielectric constant of the material? 2. What fraction of energy was lost when the dielectric was inserted 3. If we pull the dielectric half way out with no read across the capacitor? charge escaping what woulda volt meter

Answer:

a) 4

b) \frac{3}{4}

c) 6 volts

Explanation:

Given:

Initial potential difference, V₁ = 12 V

Potential difference after inserting the dielectric, V₂ = 3 V

Now,

a) The charge is given as, q = CV

where, C is the capacitance

thus,

without dielectric, q = C × 12 = 12C     .........(1)

now, let the dielectric constant be 'k'

therefore,

q = kCV₂

or

12C = kC × 3          (q from 1)

or

k = 4

b) Now, the energy after inserting a dielectric with dielectric constant as k become the \frac{1}{k} times the energy without the dielectric

thus,

Final energy = \frac{1}{k} × Initial energy

or

Final energy = 0.25 × Initial energy

or

Final energy = 25% of the energy without dielectric

therefore,

hence, the energy loss fraction is (\frac{100-25}{100})=\frac{3}{4}

c) Now,

removing half way out the dielectric

thus,

k' = k/2

or

k' = 4/2 = 2

and no charge escape

thus,

12C = k'\times C\times V'

or

V' =  \frac{12}{2}

or

V' = 6 volts

therefore,

the voltmeter will read 6 volts

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng
natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

  • Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

       c = \lambda* f (1)

  • Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

       \lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m  (2)

The vertical component of the acceleration of a sailplane is zero when the air pushes up against its wings with a lift force of
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The vertical component of the acceleration of a sailplane is zero , that means the sailplane is experiencing net force of zero in vertical direction . Its weight is acting in downward direction . So airplane is also experiencing an upward force equal to its weight  which is making net force equal to zero on it . This force is given as 5.20 k N .

So sailplane is experiencing an upward force equal to its weight . This force is generated due to air pushing up against its wings .

We know that every force generated has equal and opposite reaction force . Air is generating force on wings of sailplane , hence wings will also exert equal force on air on downward direction . This force will be transmitted to the earth by air .

Hence the gravitational force on Earth due to the sailplane will be equal to weight of sailplane . This force is 5.2 kN .
