Upthrust is the upward force exerted by fluids on the surface of an object immersed in fluids. Thrust:- It is the force acting perpendicular to the surface. Upthrust:- It is the upward force exerted by the fluid on the surface of an object immersed in liquid.

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

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

For the following elementary reaction 2br• -> br2-. The rate of consumption of the reaction and the rate of formation of prod

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

$2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

$Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}$
