The charge on the square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is Q. The potential across the plates is maintained with constant

voltage by a battery as the two plates of the capacitor are pulled apart to twice their original separation, which is small compared to the dimensions of the plates. (i) The amount of charge on the plates is now equal to [3] A) 4Q. B) 2Q. C) Q. D) Q/2. E) Q/4. (ii) What happens to the amount of charge on the plates if the plates are not connected to the battery when they are pulled apart?[2]

Answer:

i)  Q' = Q/2.

ii) If the wires to the battery are disconnected, the amount of charge on the plates remains constant, and the voltage across the plates remains the same.

Explanation:

i) The formula for capacitance is given as

C = A/d                              

Where d = separation between the plates

The formula for the charge stored is given as

Q = CV

Q = AV/d

When "d" is doubled, the charge stored "Q" becomes half because Q is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates, d.

Thus, Q' = Q/2.

ii) If the wires to the battery are disconnected, the amount of charge on the plates remains constant, and the voltage across the plates remains the same.

Answer:

To determine the minimum blade length, add 1" to the workpiece thickness. One type of material, and some materials can be cut by more than one type of blade. No matter the material, there's likely a jigsaw blade designed specifically for. Armed with the right blade, follow these pointers to make your work go (and cut) .

Identify three situations in which convection occurs
hodyreva [135]

There are three types of heat conduction through substances. These are named as conduction,convection and radiation .here we have been given convection.

Convection is the type of mode of conduction of heat in which heat will flow though a liquid and gases due to the direct physical movement of particles.In this process the hotter particles will go upward as they become lighter and cooler,heavier particles come downward which after being heated up go upward .Hence a convectional current is formed for which whole of the liquid or gas gets heated.

There are different life examples of convection.

One may take an simple example of water in a container.The water molecules which are present bottom part of the container  will be heated up first and go upward.The upper particles will come downward and they will constitute a convectional current.

Another life example is the flow of wind from one region to another region.the air at hotter region will become lighter and goes upward and the wind starts flowing from cold region region  in order to occupy the vacant space.

Another example is the hot air balloon rising up..It is also another example of convection of heat

Consider a steel cable with a diameter of 8.0 mm. Calculatethe stress in the cable when it holds a person weighing 850 N.Report
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

stress = 16.9 MPa

Explanation:

The stress in the cable can be calculated as:

\text{Stress = }\frac{F}{A}

Where F is the force and A is the area. So, the area can be calculated as:

A=\pi^{}\cdot r^2

Where r is the radius. Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is 4.0 mm and the area will be equal to:

\begin{gathered} A=3.14(4\operatorname{mm})^2 \\ A=50.24\operatorname{mm}^2 \end{gathered}

Then, replacing the force F by 850 N, and A by 50.24 mm², we get that the stress is equal to:

\text{stress = }\frac{850N}{50.24mm^2}=16.9\text{MPa}

Therefore, the answer is 16.9 MPa
