The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0,  therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.

An equipoterntial surface that surrounds a + 3.0 pC point charge has a radius of 2.0 cm. What is the potential of this surface?​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Electric potential = 0.00054 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge; q = 3 pC = 3 × 10^(-12) C

Radius; r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Formula for the electric potential of this surface will be;

V = kqr

Where;

K is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N⋅m²/C².

Thus;

V = 9 × 10^(9) × 3 × 10^(-12) × 0.02

V = 0.00054 V

2. Categorize each statement as true or false. A cylindrical capacitor is essentially a parallel-plate capacitor rolled into a t
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

False --> A cylindrical capacitor is essentially a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube. This is because a cylindrical capacitor comprises two cylinders.

False --> The dielectric constant indicates the distance by which the two plates of a capacitor are separated.

True --> The charge on a capacitor increases quickly at first, then much more slowly as the capacitor charges. This is because the charge on the capacitor increases exponentially.

False --> The voltage across a capacitor in an RC circuit increases linearly during charging. This is because the voltage increases exponentially.

True --> One of the principal purposes of a capacitor is to store electric potential energy.

True --> A capacitor charges rapidly when connected to an RC circuit with a battery. This is because a cylindrical capacitor is basically a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube.
