<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀) --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 4.19 cm, 4.19 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.407 mm. 0.407 m

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

Side length of the capacitor plate (a) = 4.19 cm = 0.0419 m

Separation between the plates (d) = 0.407 mm = $0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Energy stored in the capacitor (U) = $7.87\ nJ=7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J$

Assuming the medium to be air.

So, permittivity of space (ε) = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

Area of the square plates is given as:

$A=a^2=(0.0419\ m)^2=1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2$

Capacitance of the capacitor is given as:

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}\\\\C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m\times 1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2 }{0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m}\\\\C=3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F$

Now, we know that, the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

$U=\frac{CE^2d^2}{2}$

Rewriting in terms of 'E', we get:

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2U}{Cd^2}}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J}{3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F\times (0.407\times 10^{-3})^2\ m^2}}\\\\E=49880.77\ N/C$

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C
