Given Information:

Area of separation = A = 7.60 cm² = 0.000760 m²

distance = d = 1.60 mm = 0.0016 m

Potential difference = V = 15.0 V

Required Information:

(a) Electric field = E = ?

(b) Capacitance = C = ?

(b) Charge = Q = ?

Answer:

(a) Electric field = 9.375 kV/m

(b) Capacitance = 4.205 pF

(b) Charge = 63.08 pC

Explanation:

(a) The electric field between the plates kV/m

We know that electric field is given by

E = V/d

E = 15.0/0.0016

E = 9.375x10³ V/m

or

E = 9.375 kV/m

(b) the capacitance pF

The capacitance is given by

C = ε*A/d

where ε = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

C = 8.854×10⁻¹²*0.000760/0.0016

C = 4.205x10⁻¹² F

or

C = 4.205 pF

(c) the charge on each plate pC

The charge on each plate is given by

Q = ε*E*A

Q = 8.854×10⁻¹²*9.375x10³*0.000760

Q = 63.08×10⁻¹² C

or

Q = 63.08 pC

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) For the calculation of the Electric field we use

$E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{15.0V}{1.6*10^{-3}m} =9375\frac{N}{C}$

(b) The capacitance is calculate by using the expression

$C=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A}{d}=\frac{8.85*10^{-12}C^{2}/(Nm^{2})*(7.6*10^{-4}m^{2})}{1.6*10^{-3}m}=4.2*10^{-12}C$

(c) Finally, the charge on each plate is

$Q=CV=(4.2*10^{-12}C)(15V)=6.3*10^{-11}C$

I hope this is useful for you

What is one way to take advantage of creating even more kinetic energy on this particular technologically advanced field

ch4aika [34]

Incomplete question. However, I provided a brief about Kinetic energy generation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Interestingly, Kinetic energy in simple terms refers to the energy possessed by a body in motion.

It is often calculated using the formula E = $\frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

A good example of creating even more kinetic energy is a hand crank toy car that moves after you wind it a little, when the car moves it is generating another measure of K.E.

Which expression of distance uses SI units? A. 30 miles B. 16 kilograms C. 24 feet D. 500 meters

Stella [2.4K]

Hi!

SI units are physical measurements which will be in the form of kilograms, second, kelvin, metres, etc.

Since kilograms measure the weight of an object, it is out. Miles and feet are not SI units, so they are also out. This only leaves one answer left!

Hopefully, this helps! =)

A 0.5 kg basketball moving 5 m/s to the right collides with a 0.05 kg tennis

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A. 1.4 m/s to the left

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum. Let's define the velocity signs according to the direction, if the velocity is to the right, a positive sign will be introduced into the equation, if the velocity is to the left, a negative sign will be introduced into the equation. Two moments will be analyzed in this equation. The moment before the collision and the moment after the collision. The moment before the collision is taken to the left of the equation and the moment after the collision to the right, so we have:

$M_{before} = M_{after}$

where:

M = momentum [kg*m/s]

M = m*v

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

$(m_{1} *v_{1} )-(m_{2} *v_{2})=(m_{1} *v_{3} )+(m_{2} *v_{4})$

where:

m1 = mass of the basketball = 0.5 [kg]

v1 = velocity of the basketball before the collision = 5 [m/s]

m2 = mass of the tennis ball = 0.05 [kg]

v2 = velocity of the tennis ball before the collision = - 30 [m/s]

v3 = velocity of the basketball after the collision [m/s]

v4 = velocity of the tennis ball after the collision = 34 [m/s]

Now replacing and solving:

(0.5*5) - (0.05*30) = (0.5*v3) + (0.05*34)

1 - (0.05*34) = 0.5*v3

- 0.7 = 0.5*v

v = - 1.4 [m/s]

The negative sign means that the movement is towards left

A thin spherical spherical shell of radius R which carried a uniform surface charge density σ. Write an expression for the volum

ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

We know that the thin spherical shell is on a uniform surface which implies that both the inside and outside the charge of the sphere are equal, Then

The volume charge distribution relates to the radial direction at r = R

∴

$\rho (r) \ \alpha \ \delta (r -R)$

$\rho (r) = k \ \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r = R)$

$\rho (r) = 0\ \ since \ r< R \ \ or \ \ r>R---- (1)$

To find the constant k, we examine the total charge Q which is:

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \int \sigma \times dA$

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \sigma \times4 \pi R^2$

∴

$\int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^{R}_{0} \rho (r) r^2sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d\phi = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$\int^{2 \pi}_{0} d \phi* \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta d \theta * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$(2 \pi)(2) * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

Thus;

$k * 4 \pi \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * R^2= \sigma \times R^2$

$k = R^2 --- (2)$

Hence, from equation (1), if k = $\sigma$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) = \delta* \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r=R)}$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =0 \ \ at \ \ rR}$

To verify the units:

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =\sigma \ * \ \delta (r-R)}$

↓ ↓ ↓

c/m³ c/m³ × 1/m

Thus, the units are verified.

The integrated charge Q

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \ \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^R_0 \rho (r) \ \ r^2 \ \ sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d \phi \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \ d \phi \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta \int ^R_{0} \rho (r) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = (2 \pi) (2) \int ^R_0 \sigma * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma \int ^R_0 * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma *R^2$ since $( \int ^{xo}_{0} (x -x_o) f(x) \ dx = f(x_o) )$

$\mathbf{Q = 4 \pi R^2 \sigma }$
