The electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:
E = σ/(2ε₀)
E is the electric field, σ is the surface charge density, and ε₀ is the electric constant.
To determine σ:
σ = Q/A
Where Q is the total charge of the sheet and A is the sheet's area. The sheet is a square with a side length d, so A = d²:
σ = Q/d²
Make this substitution in the equation for E:
E = Q/(2ε₀d²)
We see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d:
E ∝ 1/d²
The electric field at P has some magnitude E. Now we double the side length of the sheet while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet. By the relationship of E with d, the electric field at P must now have a quarter of its original magnitude:
Answer:
(a) 5.43 x 10⁵ J
(b) 3.07 x 10⁵ J
(c) 45 °C
Explanation:
(a)
= Latent heat of fusion of ice to water = 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg
m = mass of ice = 1.63 kg
= Energy required to melt the ice
Energy required to melt the ice is given as
= m
= (1.63) (3.33 x 10⁵)
= 5.43 x 10⁵ J
(b)
E = Total energy transferred = 8.50 x 10⁵ J
Q = Amount of energy remaining to raise the temperature
Using conservation of energy
E = + Q
8.50 x 10⁵ = 5.43 x 10⁵ + Q
Q = 3.07 x 10⁵ J
(c)
T₀ = initial temperature = 0°C
T = Final temperature
m = mass of water = 1.63 kg
c = specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg °C)
Q = Amount of energy to raise the temperature of water = 3.07 x 10⁵ J
Using the equation
Q = m c (T - T₀)
3.07 x 10⁵ = (1.63) (4186) (T - 0)
T = 45 °C
