A budding electronics hobbyist wants to make a simple 1.0-nF capacitor for tuning her crystal radio, using two sheets of aluminu

m foil as plates, with a few sheets of paper between them as a dielectric. The paper has a dielectric constant of 3.0, and the thickness of one sheet of it is 0.20 mm. (a) If the sheets of paper measure 22×28cm and she cuts the aluminum foil to the same dimensions, how many sheets of paper should she use between her plates to get the proper capacitance? (b) Suppose for convenience she wants to use a single sheet of poster board, with the same dielectric constant but a thickness of 12.0 mm, instead of the paper. What area of aluminum foil will she need for her plates to get her 1.0 nF of capacitance? (c) Suppose she goes high-tech and finds a sheet of Teflon of the same thickness as the poster board to use as a dielectric. Will she need a larger or smaller area of Teflon than of poster board? Explain.

Answer:

a. 8 sheets of paper is needed between her plates to get the proper capacitance

b. Area of Aluminum Foil needed = 0.45m²

c. To keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

Explanation:

a.

First, we need to calculate the distance between two plates.

This is given by

d = Kε0A/C

Where

K = 3

ε0 = Physical Constant = 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²

A = Area = 22 * 28 = 616cm² = 0.0616m²

C = 1.0-nF = 1 * 10^-12F

So, d = (3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm² * 0.0616) / (1 * 10^-12F)

d = 1.64 * 10^-3m

d = 1.64mm

Now, that the distance has been solved.

The Number of Sheets, N is given by

N = d/d,sheet where d, sheet =the sheet thickness = 0.2mm

N = 1.64/0.2

N = 8.2

N = 8 sheets --- Approximated

b.

Here, she's changed the diameter of the sheets to 12mm

Well make use of the formula in (a) above

Using d = Kε0A/C

Where

d = 12 * 10^-3m

Other constraints remain unchanged

Make A the subject of formula

A = dC/Kε0

A = (12 * 10^-3m * 1 * 10^-12F)/(3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²)

A= 0.45m²

c. From (b) above

A ∝ 1/K

As the dielectric constant increase, the area decreases

The dielectric constant of a Teflon is 2.1

This means that if she used a Teflon instead, the area will be larger.

So, to keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

What is EL Niño?
postnew [5]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This occurs over the Pacific Ocean, so C and D are already wrong. El Nino heats the water and not cools it, so A is incorrect. So commonsense says that the answer is B.

Two routes connect an origin and a destination. Routes 1 and 2 have performance functions t1 = 2 + X1 and t2 = 1 + X2, where the
Musya8 [376]

Solution :

Given

$t_1=2+x_1$

$t_2=1+x_2$

Now,

$P(h

$0.4=1-P(h \geq5)$

$0.6=P(h \geq5)$

$0.6= e^{\frac{-x_1 5}{3600}}$

Therefore,   $x_1=368 \ veh/h$

                        $=\frac{368}{1000} = 0.368$

Given,   $t_1=2+x_1$

                 = 2 + 0.368

                 = 2.368 min

At user equilibrium, $t_2=t_1$

∴  $t_2$ = 2.368 min

$t_2=1+x_2$

$2.368=1+x_2$

$x_2 = 1.368$

$x_2 = 1.368 \times 1000$

    = 1368 veh/h

Discuss the impact of the changing urban center. Include the impacts on political, economic, and social roles and opportunities.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The 21st century world have been earmarked with great influx of people to the urban centre,the notion of gender equality and female education have also made most traditional roles in the family changing.Before now,wives we're known for their full independence on their husband who is considered the bread winner.

Inspite of the growth of of the urban centre the availability of resources have dwindled,resulting in the surge of unemployment in many urban centre,the political entity of the society which is the government have serious challenging in managing the various threat posed by overpopulation, unemployment results in the decrease of standard of living of person and family,to cater for this family have to change their roles,wives now work to support the husband.
