Answer:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

Explanation:

Where C= capacitance of the capacitor

ε0= permittivity of free space

A= cross sectional area of plates

d= distance between the plates

V= potential difference

First, the capacitance of a capacitor is obtained by:

C = ε0A/d.

Starting at the formula , U= (CV^2)/2. Formula for energy stored in a capacitor

Substitute in for C:

U = (ε0A/d) * V^2 / 2

Hence:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

suppose that you had an ohmmeter and a mystery component that could be either an inductor or a capacitor. How could you use the
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

To determine the mystery component we will connect the mystery component to a DC voltage source, then I will measure the resistance of the component with the use of Ohmmeter, the value of the resistance of the mystery component will determine what the mystery component is

if the resistance > 1( very high )   then component is a capacitor

if the resistance = 0 then component is an inductor

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese
lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:


efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100


Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40% 

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20% 


Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
