Answer:
Explanation:
Plate separation, d = 1.76 cm = 0.0176 m
Area of plates, A = 25 cm^2 = 0.0025 m^2
V = 255 V
(a) Capacitance of capacitor
C = 1.258 x 10^-12 F
charge is same before and after immersion as the battery is disconnected
q = C V
q = 1.258 x 10^-12 x 255 = 3.2 x 10^-10 C
(b)
Capacitance before, C = 1.258 x 10^-12 C
capacitance after, C' = k x C = 80 x 1.258 x 10^-12 = 100.64 x 10^-12 C
Where, k is the dielectric constant of water = 80
Potential difference after immersion, V' = V / k = 255 / 80 = 3.1875 V
(c) initial energy,
Final energy
Answer: 31.6ft
Explanation:
Check the attachment for the diagram.
According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|
that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft
According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2
10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2
100 + 900 = |AC|^2
|AC| = √1000
|AC| = 31.6ft
Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
