A 25 pF parallel-plate capacitor with an air gap between the plates is connected to a 100 V battery. A Teflon slab (dielectric c

onstant 2.0) is then inserted between the plates, and completely fills the gap.
(a) What is the change in the charge on the positive plate when the Teflon is inserted?

Answer:

The change in the charge on the positve plate when the Teflon is inserted is +2.5 nC.

Explanation:

  • It can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, can be expresssed as follows:

       C = \frac{\epsilon*A}{d}

  • Where ε, is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between plates.
  • When this space is filled with air, ε= ε₀ = 8,85*10⁻¹² F/m.
  • At the same time, the capacitance of a capacitor, by definition, is as follows:

       C =\frac{Q}{V}

  • If we insert a Teflon slab, in such a way that fills completely the gap between the plates, all other parameters being equal, if ε = 2*ε₀, this means that C₂ = 2* C₁. = 50 pF
  • As V₂=V₁ (due to the capacitor remains connected to the same battery) the charge must be the double, so Q₂ = 2* Q₁ = 5 nC.
  • So, the change in the charge of the positive plate is +2.5 nC.

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T

Whereas N_A stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.

For an atom to be neutral the amount of ? and? must be equal
maks197457 [2]

Answer: Well first of all, for an Atom to be neutral, it shall have an equal number of the protons and the neutrons. So given that, the protons are able to be positively charged and since the electrons are negatively charged (Protons and Electrons are completely different from each other) then that means the Algebric are aggregated of charges because it equal to zero. So overall, the 'neutral atom' has to be neutral, and how? Protons must equal the number of electrons or else it wouldn't be considered neutral.

Hopefully this helps you very much!! :-) Have a great daayy!
