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

What is the distance between a 900 kg compact car and a 1600 kg pickup truck if the gravitational force between them is about 0.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

Given

m1= 900kg

m2= 1600kg

Force F= 0.0001nN

G=6.67430*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Required

The distance r

Step two:

the formula for the force is given as

F = Gm1m2/r2

make r subject of the formula

r= \sqrt{\frac{Gm1m2}{F} }

r= \sqrt{\frac{6.67430*10^-11*900*1600}{0.0001} }\\\\r= 0.00009610992/0.0001`}\\\\r= 0.96m

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

Given

m1= 900kg

m2= 1600kg

Force F= 0.0001nN

G=6.67430*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.
