Describe the difference between contact forces and field forces.

1 answer:

8 0

Contact forces has to be touching for it to be an actual force. A field force does not have to be touching but it does have to be acting on particles at different positions in a space.

What is the acceptable level for chlorine

Katena32 [7]

The EPA requires treated tap water to have a detectable level of chlorine to help prevent contamination. The allowable chlorine in drinking water (up to 4 parts per million) pose “no known or expected health risk [including] an adequate margin of safety.”

Learning Goal:

Answer:

A. $U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}$

B. $U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}$

C. $U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is its ability to store charges. For parallel-plate capacitors, this ability depends the material between the plates, the common plate area and the plate separation. The relationship is

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}$

$C$ is the capacitance, $A$ is the common plate area, $d$ is the plate separation and $\epsilon$ is the permittivity of the material between the plates.

For air or free space, $\epsilon$ is $\epsilon_0$ called the permittivity of free space. In general, $\epsilon=\epsilon_r \epsilon_0$ where $\epsilon_r$ is the relative permittivity or dielectric constant of the material between the plates. It is a factor that determines the strength of the material compared to air. In fact, for air or vacuum, $\epsilon_r=1$ .

The energy stored in a capacitor is the average of the product of its charge and voltage.

$U = \dfrac{QV}{2}$

Its charge, $Q$ , is related to its capacitance by $Q=CV$ (this is the electrical definition of capacitance, a ratio of the charge to its voltage; the previous formula is the geometric definition). Substituting this in the formula for $U$ ,

$U = \dfrac{CV^2}{2}$

A. Substituting for $C$ in $U$ ,

$U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}$

B. When the distance is $3d$ ,

$U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2\times3d}$

$U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}$

C. When the distance is restored but with a dielectric material of dielectric constant, $K$ , inserted, we have

$U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}$

house current is 120 volts. if a light bulb runs a current of 0.5 amps, what is the resistance of the bulb

Sauron [17]

Ohm's Law tells the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
It can be written in three different ways, depending on which ones you know,
and which one you want to find.

Here's the one we need:

   Resistance = (voltage) divided by (current)

   = (120 V) / (0.5 Amp)

   =    240 ohms .
