An electric discharge is the release and transmission of electricity in an applied electric field through a medium such as a gas. Several types of electric discharges occur naturally on Earth (American Geophysical Union, 1986):

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic

Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

A single circular loop of wire of radius 0.75 m carries a constant current of 3.0 A. The loop may be rotated about an axis that

NISA [10]

Answer:

B = 0.8 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular loop, r = 0.75 m

Current in the loop, I = 3 A

The loop may be rotated about an axis that passes through the center and lies in the plane of the loop.

When the orientation of the normal to the loop with respect to the direction of the magnetic field is 25°, the torque on the coil is 1.8 Nm.

We need to find the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop. Torque acting on the loop is given by :

$\tau=NIAB\sin\theta$

B is magnetic field

$B=\dfrac{\tau}{NIA\sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{1.8}{1\times \pi \times (0.75)^2\times 3\times \sin(25)}\\\\B=0.8\ T$

So, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop is 0.8 T.

What is geothermal energy ??

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. The geothermal energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of materials.

Oil having a density of 926 kg/m3 floats on water. A rectangular block of wood 3.69 cm high and with a density of 974 kg/m3 floa

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

Explanation:

Given;

density of oil, $\rho _o$ = 926 kg/m³

density of the wood, $\rho _{wood}$ = 974 kg/m³

density of water, $\rho _w$ = 1000 kg/m³

height of the wood, h = 3.69 cm

Based on the density of the wood, it will position across the two liquids.

let the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids = x

Let the wood be in equilibrium position;

$F_{wood} - F_{oil} - F_{water} = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .gh - \rho _o .g(h-x) - \rho_w .gx = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h - \rho _o (h-x) - \rho_w .x = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h -\rho _o h + \rho _o x - \rho_w .x =0\\\\h (\rho _{wood} -\rho _o ) = x( \rho_w - \rho _o)\\\\x =h[\frac{ \rho _{wood} -\rho _o }{\rho_w - \rho _o} ]\\\\x = 3.69\ cm \times [\frac{974 - 926}{1000-926} ]\\\\x = 2.39 \ cm$

Therefore, the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.
