Ask Your Teacher When a potential difference of 160 V is applied to the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor, the plates carry a

surface charge density of 26.0 nC/cm2. What is the spacing between the plates?

The spacing between the plates is 5.4\cdot 10^{-6} m

Explanation:

The electric field in the spacing between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform and it is given by

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma is the surface charge density

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

We also know that the relationship between electric field and potential difference across a parallel-plate capacitor is

V=Ed

where

V is the potential difference

d is the spacing between the plates

Combining the two equations we get

V=\frac{\sigma d}{\epsilon_0}

And given that here we have:

V = 160 V

\sigma = 26.0 nC/cm^2 = 26.0\cdot 10^{-9} C/cm^2=26.0\cdot 10^{-5} C/m^2

We can solve the equation for d, the spacing between the plates:

d=\frac{V \epsilon_0}{\sigma}=\frac{(160)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}{26.0\cdot 10^{-5}}=5.4\cdot 10^{-6} m

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Current will be 81.7 mA

Which is not given in bellow option

Explanation:

We have given  capacitance C=4.8mF=4.8\times 10^{-3}F

Resistance R = 500 ohm

Voltage V = 12 volt

We know that time constant of RC circuit of RC circuit is given by

\tau =RC=500\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=2.4sec

Time is given as t = 1 sec

We know that current in RC circuit is given by

i=\frac{v}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau }})

So current i=\frac{12}{500}(1-e^{\frac{-1}{2.4 }})=0.00817A=81.7mA

Which is not given in the following option
