Two identical parallel plate capacitors A and B connected to a battery of V volts w/ the switch S closed. The switch is now open

ed and the free space between the plates of the capacitors is filled w/ a dielectric of dielectric constant K. Find the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric.

The electrostatic energy stored in a capacitor with capacitance C_0, with a voltage difference V applied to it, and without dielectric, is given by
U_0 =  \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2
Now let's assume we fill the space between the two plates of the capacitor with a dielectric with constant k. The new capacitance of the capacitor is
C_k = k C_0
So, the energy stored now is
U_k =  \frac{1}{2}C_k V^2= \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2

Therefore, the ratio between the energies stored in the capacitor before and after the introduction of the dielectric is
\frac{U_k}{U_0}= \frac{ \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2 }{ \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2}=  k

Consider a rectangular ice floe 5.00 m high, 4.00 m long, and 3.00 m wide. a) What percentage of the ice floe is below the water
artcher [175]

Answer:

(a) 92 %

(b) 6.76 %

Explanation:

length, l = 4 m, height, h = 5 m, width, w = 3 m, density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

density of ice = 920 kg/m^3, density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Let v be the volume of ice below water surface.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of water x g = Total volume of ice block x density

                                                                      of ice x g

v x 1000 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.92

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.92 x 100 = 92 %

(b) Let v be the volume of ice below the mercury.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of mercury x g = Total volume of ice block x  

                                                                      density of ice x g

v x 13600 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.0676

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.0676 x 100 = 6.76 %

the time required for one cycle, a complete motion that returns to its starting point, it called the_____ medium frequency perio
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Period".

Explanation:

The Period seems to be the time deemed necessary for such a perfect cycle of vibration to transfer a particular moment. Because as the amplitude of the wave raises, the wavelength falls.

It is denoted by "T" and its formula will be:

⇒  T  = \frac{1}{F}

Where, T = Period

            F = Frequency

The other given choices are not related to the given circumstances. So that the above would be the right answer.
