<h2>Answer:</h2>

2Q

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When a capacitor carries some certain charge, the energy stored in the capacitor is its electric potential energy E. The magnitude of this potential energy is given by;

E = $\frac{1}{2}qV$ ------------(i)

Where;

q = charge between the plates of the capacitor

V = potential difference between the plates of the capacitor

From the question;

q = Q

E = Ep

Therefore, equation (i) becomes;

Ep = $\frac{1}{2} QV$ ----------------(ii)

Make V subject of the formula in equation (ii)

V = $\frac{2E_{p}}{Q}$

Now, when the energy is doubled i.e E = 2Ep, equation (i) becomes;

2Ep = $\frac{1}{2}qV$

Substitute the value of V into the equation above;

2Ep = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $q *\frac{2E_{p}}{Q}$ )

Solve for q;

$2E_{p}$ = $\frac{2qE_p}{2Q}$

$2E_{p}$ = $\frac{qE_p}{Q}$

$q = 2Q$

Therefore, the charge, when the energy stored is twice the originally stored energy, is twice the original charge. i.e 2Q

How much energy is needed to heat and melt 3.0 kg of copper initially at 83°C?

Ne4ueva [31]

As we know that in order to melt the copper we need to take the temperature of copper to its melting point

So here heat required to raise the temperature of copper is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

We know that

melting temperature of copper = 1085 degree C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 385 J/kg C

now we have

$Q = 3(385)(1085 - 83)$

$Q = 1157310 J$

$Q = 1157.3 kJ$

now in order to melt the copper we know the heat required is

$Q = mL$

here we know that

L = 205 kJ/kg

now from above formula

$Q = 3(205) kJ$

$Q = 615 kJ$

now total heat required will be

$Q = 1157.3 kJ + 615 kJ$

$Q = 1772.3 kJ$

As we know that

$1 Cal = 4.18 kJ$

now we have

$Q = \frac{1772.3}{4.18} = 430 KCal$

I hate life do u know why

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Most of us have experienced that pivotal peak of pain, anger or frustration in which we want to scream “I hate my life.” Yet, the feeling that a dark cloud has specifically settled over us and our experiences can feel pretty isolating. The truth is, no matter how singled out or overwhelmed we feel, and no matter what area we are struggling in, we are not alone. More than half of U.S. workers are unhappy with their job. One in 10 Americans struggles with depression. All of us have moments of utter despair. Escaping from this hopeless-seeming state may feel impossible. Yet, in reality, we are not doomed, and we are not powerless. No matter what our circumstances, we can all learn tools to help us emerge from the darkest moments in our lives.

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related

Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, $V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V$

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, $V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V$

Now,

Drift velocity, $v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}$

$v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s$

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

$E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta$ (1)

And

$E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d$

Thus eqn (1) becomes

$V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta$

where

d = distance

$B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}$ (2)

(a) When $\theta = 90^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T$

(b) When $\theta = 60^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T$
