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.

How do dog whistles work?
Alchen [17]

<em>The sound it emits comes from what is known as the ultrasonic range, a pitch that is so high humans can't hear it. Dogs can hear these sounds, however, as can cats and other animals. Because of this, the dog whistle is a favored training tool, though it may not be for every dog parent.</em>

Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What i
Molodets [167]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

An object 16.8 cm tall is placed in front of a converging lens. A real image, 46 cm tall, is formed on the other side of the len
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2.74

Explanation:

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Mag = v/u

Given

v = 46cm

u = 16.8

Magnification = 46/16.8

Magnification = 2.74

Hence the magnification is 2.74
