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.

To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contain 0.800 ppm fluoride, F−. How many grams of
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the answer:

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.

Thank you for reading.

Which characteristic do arid and polar regions share?
Setler79 [48]

few plants

Explanation:

Arid and polar regions of the world typically have few plant species. The plant species in such environment are called xerophytes. They are plants that can live in an area with little to no precipitation.

  • Arid regions of the world are about the most driest in the world with very high diurnal temperature range.
  • Polar regions are frigid and cold all year round.
  • Both arid and polar regions have little to no precipitation all year round.
  • They have poor soils to support plant growth.
  • This is why they both have few plants.
