A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an insulating layer. A new capacitor has no charge on either of its surf

aces. If you begin transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases. (B) the positively charged surface decreases but the energy stored in the capacitor increases. (C) both surfaces increase but the energy stored in the capacitor decreases. (D) both surfaces increase and the energy stored in the capacitor stays constant.

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>

When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a  measure of the ability of a capacitor  to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is  a constant defined as:

C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}

To maintain C constant, if Q increases V also increases.

On the other hand, the potential energy U can be expressed as:

U=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

In conclusion, as Q increases the potential energy also increases.

Answer:

Check Explanation

Comprobar explicación

Explanation:

English Translation

Indicate what a specific property of matter is. Also explain why the specific properties of matter are useful compared to the general ones.

Solution

The specific properties of matter are properties that describes the intensive properties of the system. They are properties that do not depend on or change with the extent or size of the system. They are usually obtained by dividing the generalised properties or extensive properties by the extent or size of matter to make them independent of size/extent/Mass.

Examples of specific properties include specific heat capacity, specific volume etc. They usually have units of general units/Mass units.

The specific properties of matter are more important than the general ones because

- They help in general comparisons of the properties of different materials. They are used to rank, classify and compare properties of different materials.

- They are used in reference table/data to easily record easily accessible properties of matter. It helps to record standards that are general and independent of sizes/extents/Mass, thereby keeping the reference table/data/chart precise and concise.

- They provide us with values that are easy to memorize and remember, unlike trying to cram the different properties of different masses/sizes of matter.

In Spanish/En español

Las propiedades específicas de la materia son propiedades que describen las propiedades intensivas del sistema. Son propiedades que no dependen ni cambian con la extensión o el tamaño del sistema. Por lo general, se obtienen dividiendo las propiedades generalizadas o las propiedades extensivas por la extensión o el tamaño de la materia para hacerlas independientes del tamaño / extensión / masa.

Los ejemplos de propiedades específicas incluyen capacidad calorífica específica, volumen específico, etc. Usualmente tienen unidades de unidades generales / unidades de masa.

Las propiedades específicas de la materia son más importantes que las generales porque

- Ayudan en las comparaciones generales de las propiedades de diferentes materiales. Se utilizan para clasificar, clasificar y comparar propiedades de diferentes materiales.

- Se utilizan en la tabla / datos de referencia para registrar fácilmente propiedades de materia fácilmente accesibles. Ayuda a registrar estándares que son generales e independientes de tamaños / extensiones / masa, manteniendo así la tabla / datos / tabla de referencia precisa y concisa.

- Nos proporcionan valores que son fáciles de memorizar y recordar, a diferencia de tratar de agrupar las diferentes propiedades de diferentes masas / tamaños de materia.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the only function of the pulleys in the diagram?
tia_tia [17]

The only function of the pulleys in the diagram is to change the direction

of the force applied to raise the bricks.

<h3>What is a Pulley?</h3>

A pulley is a wheel which has a flexible rope on its rim and helps to

transmit energy and motion.

In the diagram given, we can see that the pulley is used to raise a mass of

block by three people. They pull the rope horizontally in order to raise the

block vertically. This means that it was used to change the direction of the

applied force.
