A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. After it becomes charged, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery a

nd the plate separation is increased. What happens to the potential difference between the plates? A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. After it becomes charged, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and the plate separation is increased. What happens to the potential difference between the plates? The potential difference between the plates decreases. More information is needed to answer this question. The potential difference between the plates increases. The potential difference between the plates stays the same.

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates increases

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitance of the capacitor is given by:

q = CV         (1)

where

q = charge

C = capacitance

V = Voltage or Potential Difference

Also, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{D}           (2)

where

\epsilon_{o} = permittivity of free space or vacuum

A = Area of the plates

D = Separation distance between the plates

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

V = \frac{qD}{A\epsilon_{o}}

Now, from the above eqn  we can say that:

Potential difference depends directly on the separation distance between the plates of the capacitor and is inversely dependent on the area of the plates of the capacitor.

Therefore, after disconnecting, if the separation between the plates is increased the potential difference across it also increases.

Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.
Katen [24]
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>

How does the equivalence principle lead us to suspect that spacetime might be curved?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

To understand Einstein's thought processes,

imagine yourself in the sealed box, being accelerated through interplanetary

space at 9.8m/s^2. You grab the flashlight that you keep on the bedside

table and shine a beam of light perpendicular to the acceleration vector. Since the box is accelerating upward, the path of the light beam

will appear to you to be bent downward, as the floor of the box rushes up

to meet the photons. However, thanks to the equivalence principle, we can

replace the accelerated box with a stationary box experiencing a constant gravitational acceleration. Since there's no way to distinguish between these

two cases, we are led to the conclusion that the paths of photons will be

curved downward in the presence of a gravitational field. Gravity affects

photons, Einstein concluded, even though they have no mass. Contemplating  the curved path of the light beam.

Fermat's principle, which states that

light travels between two points along a path which minimizes the travel time  required. In a vacuum, where the speed of light is constant, this translates  into the requirement that light takes the shortest path between two points.  In Euclidean, or flat, space, the shortest path between two points is a straight  line. However, in the presence of gravity, the path taken by light is not a  straight line. Thus, Einstein concluded, space is not Euclidean.  The presence of mass, in Einstein's view, causes space to be curved.
