A positively charged particle is in the center of a parallel-plate capacitor that has charge ±Q on its plates. SUppose the dista

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Stay the same

Explanation:

First of all, let's find how the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

Initially, it is given by

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

From the formula, we see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates. In this problem, the distance between the plates is doubled, so the capacitance will be halved:

$C' = \frac{1}{2}C$

The potential difference across the capacitor is given by

$V= \frac{Q}{C}$

where

Q is the charge on the plates

C is the capacitance

We see that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. We said that the capacitance has halved: therefore, the potential difference across the two plates will double:

$V' = 2 V$

Now we can analyze the electric field between the plates of the capacitor, which is given by

$E=\frac{V}{d}$

we said that:

- The voltage has doubled: V' = 2 V

- The distance between the plates has doubled: d' = 2 d

therefore, the new electric field will be

$E'=\frac{2V}{2d}=\frac{V}{d}=E$

So, the electric field is unchanged. And since the force on the particle at the center is directly proportional to the electric field:

F = qE

Then the force on the particle will stay the same.

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the surface of a circular plate is 5.90 10-5 T · m2 when it is placed in a region of

valkas [14]

Answer:

The strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the magnetic flux , Φ = 5.90 x 10⁻⁵ T·m²

angle of inclination of the field, θ = 42.0°

radius of the circular plate, r = 8.50 cm = 0.085 m

Generally magnetic flux in a uniform magnetic field is given as;

Φ = BACosθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

A is the area of the circular plate

Area of the circular plate:

A = πr²

A = π (0.085)² = 0.0227 m²

The strength of the magnetic field:

B = Φ / ACosθ

B = ( 5.90 x 10⁻⁵) / ( 0.0227 x Cos42)

B = 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Cuanto cambia la entropía de 0.50 kg de vapor de mercurio [Lv: 2.7 x 10⁵ j/kg ] al calentarse en su punto de ebullición de 357°

lord [1]

Answer:

La entropía del vapor de mercurio cambia en 214.235 joules por Kelvin.

Explanation:

Por definición de entropía ( $S$ ), medida en joules por Kelvin, tenemos la siguiente expresión:

$dS = \frac{\delta Q}{T}$ (1)

Donde:

$Q$ - Ganancia de calor, en joules.

$T$ - Temperatura del sistema, en Kelvin.

Ampliamos (1) por la definición de calor latente:

$dS = \frac{L_{v}}{T}\cdot dm$ (1b)

Donde:

$m$ - Masa del sistema, en kilogramos.

$L_{v}$ - Calor latente de vaporización, en joules

Puesto que no existe cambio en la temperatura durante el proceso de vaporización, transformamos la expresión diferencial en expresión de diferencia, es decir:

$\Delta S = \frac{\Delta m \cdot L_{v}}{T}$

Como vemos, el cambio de la entropía asociada al cambio de fase del mercurio es directamente proporcional a la masa del sistema. Si tenemos que $m = 0.50\,kg$ , $L_{v} = 2.7\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg}$ and $T = 630.15\,K$ , entonces el cambio de entropía es:
