Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline. you notice a swirlingpattern

of colors caused by interference inside the gasoline film. The point directly beneath you is colored a beautifuliridescent green. You happen to remember that the index of refraction of gasoline is 1.38 and that the wavelength of greenlight is about 540 nm. What is the minimum possible thickness of the gasoline layer directly beneath you?

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of colored film we apply the theory of interference.

Condition that colored fringe is formed ( constructive interference)

2μt = λ/ 2 ( minimum order)

t = λ/ 4μ

= 540 / 4 x 1.38

= 97.83 nm

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500
padilas [110]

Answer:

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

Explanation:

You are missing the first part of the problem. This is an example, but it will give you the idea of how to solve yours with your data.

The first part is like this:

<em>A      4.0 cm  diameter parallel plate capacitor has a  0.44 m  m    gap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s?</em>

Now with this, we can solve the problem.

In order to do this, we need to use the following expression:

q = CV (1)

Where:

C: Capacitance of a parellel capacitor (in Faraday)

q: charge of plate or capacitor (In coulombs)

V: voltage in Volts.

However, we need is the current, and we have data of potential difference, so, all we have to do is divide the expression between time so:

q/t = CV/t

And the current is q/t, thus:

I = C * V/t (2)

And finally, Capacitance C with two plates of area A separated by a distance d is:

C = Eo*A/d (3)

Where:

Eo = constant equals to 8.85x10^-12 F/m.

A = Area of the plate, in this case, πr²

d = gap of the capacitor.

Let's calculate first the Capacitance using equation (3):

C = 8.85x10^-12 * π * (0.04/2)² / 0.00046 = 2.42x10^-11 F

Now, it's time to use equation (2) and solve for I:

I = 2.42x10^-11 * 500,000

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

A charge of -3.02 μC is fixed in place. From a horizontal distance of 0.0377 m, a particle of mass 9.43 x 10^-3 kg and charge -9
Andreyy89

Answer:

d = 0.0306 m

Explanation:

Here we know that for the given system of charge we have no loss of energy as there is no friction force on it

So we will have

U + K = constant

\frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1} + \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2} + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2

now we know when particle will reach the closest distance then due to electrostatic repulsion the speed will become zero.

So we have

\frac{(9 \times 10^9)(3.02 \mu C)(9.78 \mu C)}{0.0377} + \frac{1}{2}(9.43 \times 10^{-3})(80.4)^2 = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(3.02 \mu C)(9.78 \mu C)}{r} + 0

7.05 + 30.5 = \frac{0.266}{r}

r = 7.08 \times 10^{-3} m

so distance moved by the particle is given as

d = r_1 - r_2

d = 0.0377 - 0.00708

d = 0.0306 m
