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.

A point charge of -3.0 x 10-C is placed at the origin of coordinates. Find the clectric field at the point 13. X= 5.0 m on the x
mezya [45]

Answer:

-1.0778×10⁻¹⁰ N/C

Explanation:

Applying,

E = kq/r²................ equation 1

Where E = elctric field, q = charge, r = distance, k = coulomb's law

From the question,

Given: q = -3.0×10 C, r = 5.0 m

Constant: k = 8.98×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values in equation 1

E = (-3.0×10)(8.98×10⁹)/5²

E = -1.0778×10⁻¹⁰ N/C

Hence the electric field on the x-axis is -1.0778×10⁻¹⁰ N/C

A narrow single slit is illuminated with angle infrared laser with λ = 1152 nm. The center of the tenth dark band (minimum) lies
melomori [17]

Answer: a) 110 *10^-6 m (110 μm); b) 82.86*10^-6 m (82.86 μm).

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the expresion for the dark fringes in a difraction pattern for a single narrow slit. It is given by:

a*sin (θ)= m*λ where a is the slit width. θ is the angle corresponding the m dark fringe from the central axis. λ is the wavelength of the incident light.

Then we have m=10 and θ=6° so;

a=10*1152*10^-9/Sin(6°)=110 *10^-6 m

Finally if the whole system is inmmersed in water (n=1.33), we have to add the refractive index in the path difference then: a*n*sin(θ)

a*n*sin (θ)= m*λ  then

a= m*λ/(n*sin (θ))=10*1152*10^-9/1.33*Sin(6°)= 82.86* 10^-6 m
