Complete question:

Polystyrene has dielectric constant 2.6 and dielectric strength 2.0 × 10⁷ V/m . A piece of polystyrene is used as a dielectric in a parallel-plate capacitor, filling the volume between the plates.

a- When the electric field between the plates is 79 % of the dielectric strength, what is the energy density of the stored energy?

b- When the capacitor is connected to a battery with voltage 500.0 V , the electric field between the plates is 79 % of the dielectric strength. What is the area of each plate if the capacitor stores 0.25 mJ of energy under these conditions?

Answer:

(a) The energy density of the stored energy is 2872.1 J/m³

(b) Area of the plate is 27.51 cm²

Explanation:

Given;

dielectric constant, K = 2.6

dielectric strength = 2.0 × 10⁷ V/m

potential difference of the battery, V = 500 V

Part (a)

Electric field strength, E = 79 % of dielectric strength

E = 0.79 x  2.0 × 10⁷ V/m

E = 1.58  × 10⁷ V/m

The energy density of the stored energy

u = ¹/₂Kε₀E²

where;

u is the energy density

ε₀ is permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/N.m²

u = ¹/₂Kε₀E² = ¹/₂ x 2.6 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x (1.58  × 10⁷)²

u = 28.721 x 10² J/m³

u = 2872.1 J/m³

Part (b) Area of the plate if the capacitor stores 0.250 mJ of energy

A = \frac{C_oV}{\epsilon_o E}

The energy density of stored energy is also given as;

U = ¹/₂KC₀V², U = 0.250 mJ

The charge stored in the capacitor;

C_o =\frac{2U}{KV^2} \\\\C_o =\frac{2*0.25*10^{-3}}{2.6*(500)^2} = 7.692 *10^{-10} =  0.7692  \ nF

Substitute these values and solve for Area

A = \frac{C_oV}{\epsilon_o E} = \frac{7.692*10^{-10} *500}{8.85*10^{-12}*1.58*10^7} = 2.751*10^{-3} \ m^2

A = 27.51 cm²

A force that pushes or pulls is known as
xeze [42]

Answer:

A force that pushes or pulls is known as Newton's third law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion. Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for each action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. What this suggests is that pushing on an object causes that object to keep off against you, the precise same amount, but within the other way.

<h3>What is atom?</h3>

Atom is the smallest unit of the element. Different elements have different size atoms and same element have same size atoms.

James Chadwick tracked down the neutron in 1932 and was conceded the Nobel Prize for science in 1935  held in a German prison camp for all of World War 1, he driven the British gathering inside the Manhattan Extend, in which the UK and Canada maintained the USA's World War 2 effort to build the world with nuclear bomb.

Chadwick and Rutherford were the first scientists who measured the nucleus radius using the alpha particles. He did Gold foil experiment to find the size of nucleus.

The contributions are present in the modern atomic model. They are: All matter consists of atoms. Atoms of the same element are the same in size and atoms of different elements are different. Atoms combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds.

Which is an inertial reference frame (or at least a very good approximation of one)? Which is an inertial reference frame (or at
ioda

Answer:

A jet plane flying straight and at level at constant speed

Explanation:

     The<em> inertial frame </em>of reference is a frame of reference in which all <em>Newton law  is valid</em> ie Newton second law of motion and therefore newton first law of motion holds good. <em>The frame of reference does not accelerate.</em>

All the object that is in the frame of reference are at rest or moving with constant rectilinear motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by any force.

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much work was done?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 45 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

distance = 3 meters

force = 15 newtons

We have

workdone = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
