The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
A parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance = 8.50 pF when there is air between the plates. The separation between the plates is 1.00 mm.
What is the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each plate if the electric field in the region between the plates is not to exceed V/m?
Explanation:
It is known that relation between electric field and the voltage is as follows.
V = Ed
Now,
Q = CV
or, Q =
Therefore, substitute the values into the above formula as follows.
Q =
=
=
Hence, we can conclude that the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each given plate is .
Answer:
757,93 feets
Explanation:
We can make a right triangle between the boat (A), the Coast Guard officer (B) and the base of the observation tower (C), like in the graph attached. Now, you could also made a rectangle, adding the horizontal at the height of the Coast Guard, starting in B and ending in D, the vertex opossing C.
The angle of depression, its O in the graph.
Now, as we got an rectangle, of course, the segment AD its the same length as CB, and CA, the distance from the boat to shoreline, its the same length as DB.
ADB its an right triangle, with AB, the hypothenuse, and BD and DA, the catheti (or <em>legs</em>).
Now, we know the lenght BC, the height of the tower, 53 feets, so we also know the lenght of DA. DA its the opposite cathetus to the angle O. We wish to know the length AC, equal to the lenght DB, the adjacent cathetus of the angle O.
Know, the trigonometric function that connects the adjacent cathetus with the opossite cathetus its the tangent.
We can take that the angle O = 4 °, and knowing that the opossite cathetus its 53 feets, we got:
This its equal to the distance from the boat to the shoreline.
