You have effectively got two capacitors in parallel. The effective capacitance is just the sum of the two. 
Cequiv = ε₀A/d₁ + ε₀A/d₂ Take these over a common denominator (d₁d₂) 
Cequiv = ε₀d₂A + ε₀d₁A / (d₁d₂) Cequiv = ε₀A( (d₁ + d₂) / (d₁d₂) ) 
B) It's tempting to just wave your arms and say that when d₁ or d₂ tends to zero C -> ∞, so the minimum will occur in the middle, where d₁ = d₂ 
But I suppose we ought to kick that idea around a bit. 
(d₁ + d₂) is effectively a constant. It's the distance between the two outer plates. Call it D. 
C = ε₀AD / d₁d₂ We can also say: d₂ = D - d₁ C = ε₀AD / d₁(D - d₁) C = ε₀AD / d₁D - d₁² 
Differentiate with respect to d₁ 
dC/dd₁ = -ε₀AD(D - 2d₁) / (d₁D - d₁²)² {d2C/dd₁² is positive so it will give us a minimum} For max or min equate to zero. 
-ε₀AD(D - 2d₁) / (d₁D - d₁²)² = 0 -ε₀AD(D - 2d₁) = 0 ε₀, A, and D are all non-zero, so (D - 2d₁) = 0 d₁ = ½D 
In other words when the middle plate is halfway between the two outer plates, (quelle surprise) so that 
d₁ = d₂ = ½D so 
Cmin = ε₀AD / (½D)² Cmin = 4ε₀A / D Cmin = 4ε₀A / (d₁ + d₂)

Glycerin at a temperature of 30 degrees celcius flows at a rate of 8×10−6m3/sthrougha horizontal tube with a 30mmdiameter. what
marusya05 [52]

The pressure drop in pascal is 3.824*10^4 Pascals.

To find the answer, we need to know about the Poiseuille's formula.

<h3>How to find the pressure drop in pascal?</h3>
  • We have the Poiseuille's formula,

                     Q=\frac{\pi r^4P}{8\beta l}

  • where, Q is the rate of flow, P is the pressure drop, r is the radius of the pipe, is the coefficient of viscosity (0.95Pas-s for Glycerin) and l being the length of the tube.
  • By substituting values and rearranging we will get the pressure drop as,

                  P=3.284Pascals

Thus, we can conclude that, the pressure drop in pascal is 3.824*10^4.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Infra and Red

Explanation:

While many elemental spectral lines are visible, almost all molecular lines lie in the infra portion of the spectrum, since they are at much lower energy. while many elemental spectral lines are visible, almost all molecular lines lie in the red portion of the spectrum, since they are at much lower energy.
