A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.60 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80 mm . If the separ

ation is decreased to 1.45 mm , What is the energy now stored if the capacitor was disconnected from the potential source before the separation of the plates was changed?
What is the energy now stored if the capacitor remained connected to the potential source while the separation of the plates was changed?

Answer:

Part a)

E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J

Part b)

E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of capacitor when it is not connected to potential source is given as

U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}

As we know that initial energy is given as

8.60 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}

now we know that capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given as

C = \frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}

now the new capacitance when distance is changed from 3.80 mm to 1.45 mm

C' = \frac{Cd}{d'}

C' = \frac{C(3.80)}{1.45}

C' = 2.62 C

Now the new energy of the capacitor is given as

E = \frac{Q^2}{2(2.62C)}

E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J

Part b)

Now if the voltage difference between the plates of capacitor is given constant

now the energy energy of capacitor is

U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

8.60 = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

now when capacitance is changed to new value then new energy is given as

E = \frac{1}{2}C'V^2

E = \frac{1}{2}(2.62C)V^2

E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J

If the given wave has a frequency of 100 Hz, what frequency will the sixth harmonic have?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

600Hz

Explanation:

In electrical systems of alternating current, the harmonics are, as in acoustics, frequencies multiples of the fundamental working frequency of the system and whose amplitude decreases as the multiple increases. For example, if we have systems fed by the 50 Hz network, harmonics of 100, 150, 200, etc. may appear.

In our case having a fundamental wave of 100Hz, I can have harmonics of 200,300,400, ..., 600Hz
