A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.51 cm and a plate area of 25.0 cm2. The plates are charged to a po

tential difference of 260 V and disconnected from the source. The capacitor is then immersed in distilled water. Assume the liquid is an insulator.
(a) What is the charge on the plates before immersion?
(b) What is the charge on the plates after immersion?

Answer:

(a) 380.96 pC

(b) 3.25V

Explanation:

(a) Before immersion,

C_{air} = \frac{E_{0}A }{d}

⇒(8.85E-12× 25E-4× 260) ÷(0.0151)

= 380.96 pC

(b)   Charge on the plates after immersion can be calculated by,

  Q = ΔV×C

      = ΔV_{air} ÷ K

where K is the constant for distilled water

      = 260 ÷ 80

      = 3.25V

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Charge  on the plates before immersion

as we know that,

C = εA/d

C = 8.85×10^{-12}× 25×10^{-4}/ 1.51×10^{-2}

   = 1.46×10^{-12}

Q = CV

   = (1.46×10^{-12}) (260)

   = 3.796×10^{-10} C

(b) Charge on the plates after immersion

Q = 3.796×10^{-10} C

The charge will remain the same, as the capacitor was disconnected before it was immersed.

List atleast to conditions that could cause the pressure inside a sealed container of gas to increase
hjlf
There are exactly three ways that could happen:

1).  The container was heated, and the gas inside it got warmer.

2).  Some part inside the container moved somehow, and made
      the inside volume smaller, so the gas got scrunched into a
      smaller space.

3).  Somebody pumped some more gas into the container, so
      a greater amount of gas had to live in the same space.

Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same len
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

  • The difference in length for steel is 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m
  • The difference in length for invar is 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

Given;

original length of steel, L₁ = 1.00 m

original length of invar, L₁ = 1.00 m

coefficients of volume expansion for steel, \gamma_{st.} =  3.6 × 10⁻⁵ /°C

coefficients of volume expansion for invar, \gamma_{in.} =  2.7 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

temperature rise in both meter stick, θ = 20.5°C

Difference in length, can be calculated as:

L₂ = L₁ (1 + αθ)

L₂  = L₁ + L₁αθ

L₂  - L₁ = L₁αθ

ΔL = L₁αθ

Where;

ΔL is difference in length

α is linear expansivity = \frac{\gamma}{3}

Difference in length, for steel at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{3.6*10^{-5}}{3} = 1.2*10^{-5} /^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 1.2 x 10⁻⁵ x 20.5 = 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m

Difference in length, for invar at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{2.7*10^{-6}}{3} = 0.9*10^{-6}/^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 0.9 x 10⁻⁶ x 20.5 = 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

If the current in a wire increases from 5 A to 10 A, what happens to its magnetic field? If the distance of a charged particle f
dsp73

1. The magnitude of the magnetic field doubles

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where \mu_0 is the vacuum permeability, I is the current in the wire, r is the distance from the wire.

As we see from the formula, the intensity of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current: if the current increases from 5 A to 10 A, it means it doubles, so the magnetic field doubles as well.

2. The magnitude of the magnetic field halves

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

We see that the magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire (r). In this case, the distance of the particle is changed from 10 cm to 20 cm, so it is doubled: therefore, the magnitude of the field will become half of the initial value.

3. The force reverses direction

Explanation: the force exerted on a charged particle in a magnetic field is:

F=qvB sin \theta

where q is the charge, v is the speed of the particle, B is the magnetic field intensity and \theta the angle between the direction of v and B. If the charge of the particle is switched from 2 µC to –2µC, the magnitude of the force does not change (because the absolute value of q does not change), however the charge q gets a negative sign (-), so the sign of the force changes and gets a negative sign too, so the force reverses direction.

A block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.32 m/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring and co
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given time is 1 / 4 of the time period

So Time period  of oscillation.

= 4 x .4 =1.6 s

When the block reaches back its original position when it came in contact with the spring for the first time , the block and the spring will have maximum

velocity. After that spring starts unstretching , reducing its speed , so block loses contact as its velocity is not reduced .

So required velocity is the maximum velocity of the block while remaining in contact with the spring.

v ( max ) = w A = 1.32  m /s.
