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

3. Atmospheric pressure is often given in units of millimeters of mercury. This refers to the height of a mercury column above t
gregori [183]

Answer:

101397.16 pa

Explanation:

The pressure recorded will be equal to pgh

Where p = density of mercury = 13.6x10^3 kg/m^ 3

g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s^2

h = height of mercury in the column = 760 mm = 760x10^-3 m

Pressure = 13.6x10^3 x 9.81 x 760x10^-3 = 101397.16 pa

Which of the following is NOT a type of electromagnetic wave?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Seismic waves

Explanation:

seismic waves are not represented by electromagnetic graphs, nor can they be reflected on an electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light, radio waves, and microwaves are all electromagnetic waves, which are represented by graphs and electromagnetic spectrums.

Someone help me please.
Soloha48 [4]

1/2*2.8*x^{2}=2.8*9.81*1.50

X=5.425

Because K.E=1/2*M*V² and it is equal to P.E in the conservation of energy which means its K.E=P.E

P.E=m*g*h

So K.E equals 1/2*2.8*(5.425)²=41.20
