Air undergoes dielectric breakdown at a field strength of 3 MV/m. Could you store energy in an electric field in air with the sa

me energy density as gasoline? The energy content of gasoline 44* 10^6 J/kg and the density of gasoline is 670 kg/m^3. Yes or No.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The energy content of gasoline is

44\cdot  10^6 J/kg

while the density is

670 kg/m^3

So the energy density of gasoline is

u = (44\cdot 10^6 J/kg)(670 kg/m^3)=2.95\cdot 10^{10} J/m^3

The energy density of an electric field is given by

u_E = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

E is the strength of the electric field

For air at dielectric breakdown,

E=3 MV/m = 3\cdot 10^6 V/m

Substituting into the equation,

u_E = \frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(3\cdot 10^6)^2=39.8 J/m^3

We see that u_E < u, so the energy density of the electric field is much lower than the energy content of gasoline, so the answer is No.

Answer:

Frequency = 1,550Hz

Explanation:

To solve this we can use the equation: f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

(frequency = velocity/wavelength).

We are given the information that the wavelength is 22cm and the speed is 340m/s. The first step is to make sure everything is in the correct units (SI units), and to convert them if needed. The SI Units for velocity and wavelength are m/s and m respectively. This means we need to convert 22cm into meters, which we can do by dividing by 100, (as there are 100cm in a meter). 22/100 = 0.22m

Now we can substitute these values into the formula and calculate to solve:

f=\frac{340}{0.22} \\\\f=1545.454...

Simplify to 3 significant figures:

f = 1,550Hz

(Which I believe is just below a G6 if you were interested)

Hope this helped!
