A dielectric material is inserted between the charged plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. Do the following quantities increase
1 answer:
Answer:
1. Charge on plates (plates remain connected to battery) increases.
2. Electric potential energy (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases.
3.Capacitance (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) increases.
4. Voltage between plates (plates remain connected to battery) remains the same.
5. Charge on plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) remains the same.
6. Capacitance (plates remain connected to battery) increases.
7. Electric potential energy (plates remain connected to battery) increases.
8. Voltage between plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases.
Explanation:
When a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a capacitor, the capacitance is increase by a factor K, the dielectric constant.
By the capacitance formula, the other factors change accordingly.
1. Charge on plates (plates remain connected to battery) increases, because charge and capacitance are directly proportional.
2. Electric potential energy (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases, because potential is inversely proportional to capacitance, and potential energy is given by the following formula
3.Capacitance (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) increases.
4. Voltage between plates (plates remain connected to battery) stays the same, because the voltage is applied by the battery.
5. Charge on plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) remains constant. If the plates isolated from the battery, then the total charge is conserved.
6. Capacitance (plates remain connected to battery) increases when a dielectric is inserted.
7. Electric potential energy (plates remain connected to battery) increases, because when plates remain connected to battery the voltage remains the same. But the capacitance increases. Therefore, electric potential energy increases.
8. Voltage between plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases, because voltage is inversely proportional to capacitance.

As per the given Figure attached here we know that both charges q1 and q2 will apply same force on charge q3 and hence the resultant force due to both charges will be along Y axis vertically upwards
So here we know that
now from the above equation
so both of the charges will apply 0.288 N force on q3 charge along the line joining them
now the net force due to vector sum is given by
here we know that angle is
now we have
so net force on q3 is 0.46 N vertically upwards along +Y axis
Answer:
q = 3.6 10⁵ C
Explanation:
To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth
r = 6 , 37 106 m
E = k q / r²
q = E r² / k
q =
q = 4.5 10⁵ C
Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius
r = 0.6 r_ Earth
r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m
E = k q / r²
q = E r² / k
q =
q = 3.6 10⁵ C
