Answer:

(a) The charge on the capacitor, Q = 42.5 pC

b) The new charge on the capacitor, Q = 42.5 pC

c) New voltage across the capacitor, V = 18.0 V

d) Work done, W = 127.5 pJ

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the relation:

C = \frac{k \epsilon_{0}A }{d}..................(1)

Area of plate, A = 2 cm^{2} = 2 * 10^{-4} m^{2}

For air, dielectric constant k = 1

Initial potential difference,  V₀ = 12.0 V

Separation between the plates, d = 0.50 mm = 0.50 x 10⁻³ m

The charge on the capacitor can be given by the equation

Q = C V_{0}...............(2)

Putting appropriate values into equation (1)

C = \frac{1 * 8.854 * 10^{-12}* 2 * 10^{-4}  }{0.5 * 10^{-3} }

C = 3.542 * 10^{-12} F

Inserting the value of C into equation (2)

Q = 3.542 * 10^{-12}  * 12\\Q = 42.5 * 10^{-12} C\\Q = 42.5 pC

(b) Since the battery has been disconnected from the capacitor, the charge on the capacitor does not change despite the increase in the separation between the plates

Q = 42.5 * 10^{-12} C

(c) New potential difference between the plates,

Since the charge remains the same after the disconnection

Q_{f} = Q_{i}

C_{f} V_{f} = C_{i} V_{i}

\frac{k \epsilon_{0}A }{d_{f} }V_{f}  =  \frac{k \epsilon_{0}A }{d_{i} }V_{i}

\frac{V_{f} }{d_{f} } = \frac{V_{i} }{d_{i} } \\\frac{V_{f} }{0.75 * 10^{-3}  } = \frac{12 }{0.5 * 10^{-3} } \\V_{f} = \frac{12 *0.75 * 10^{-3}  }{0.5 * 10^{-3}} \\V_{f} = 18.0  V

The new potential difference across the plates is 18 V

(d) Amount of Work required to pull the plates to their new separation -

W = \frac{1}{2} q(V_{2} - V_{1} )\\W = \frac{1}{2} * 42.5 * 10^{-12} (18-12 )\\W = 0.5 * 42.5 * 6  * 10^{-12}\\W = 127.5 * 10^{-12} J\\W = 127.5 pJ

Work done = 127.5 pJ

Answer:

a) The charge of the capacitor is 4.25x10⁻¹¹C

b) The charge of the capacitor is 4.25x10⁻¹¹C because the battery is disconnected.

c) The potential difference across the plates is 18 V

d) The work is 7.64x10⁻¹⁰J

Explanation:

The capacitance of the capacitor is equal to:

C=\frac{e_{0}A }{d}

A = 2 cm² = 0.0002 m²

d = 0.5 mm = 0.0005 m

Replacing:

C=\frac{8.85x10^{-12}*0.0002 }{0.0005} =3.54x10^{-12} F = 3.54pF

a) The charge of the capacitor is equal to:

Q = C*V = 3.54 * 12 = 42.48 pC = 4.25x10⁻¹¹C

b) The charge is the same because the battery is disconnected (Q = 4.25x10⁻¹¹C)

c) If distance is increased, we have:

C=\frac{8.85x10^{-12}*0.0002 }{0.00075} =2.36x10^{-12} F=2.36pF

The potential is:

V=\frac{Q}{C} =\frac{42.48}{2.36} =18V

d) The work done is equal to:

W=VQ=18*42.48=764.6pJ=7.64x10^{-10} J

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Crosstalk

Explanation:

The answer is Crosstalk as this phenomenon is most commonly associated with analog phone call.

Now, crosstalk is defined as a disturbance caused by the electric or magnetic fields of one telecommunication signal which affects a signal in an adjacent circuit. In a telephone circuit, crosstalk could result in hearing part of a voice conversation from another circuit. Hence, the phenomenon that causes crosstalk is called electromagnetic interference (EMI). This may occur in microcircuits within computers and audio equipments including within network circuits. This term is also usually applied to optical signals that interfere with each other.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

13.37 rev/min

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s², centripetal acceleration (a_c) = 1.8 * g = 1.8 * 9.8 m/s² = 17.64 m/s².

r = 9 m

Centripetal acceleration (a_c) is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\\\v=\sqrt{a_c*r} \\\\v=\sqrt{17.64\ m/s^2*9\ m}\\\\v=12.6\ m/s

The velocity (v) is given by:

v = ωr;  where ω is the angular velocity

Hence:

ω = v/r = 12.6 / 9

ω = 1.4 rad/s

ω = 2πN

N = ω/2π = 1.4 / 2π

N = 0.2228 rev/s

N = 13.37 rev/min

A 0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900j/kg⋅∘c) is heated to 200∘c. the block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of co
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem, we should recall the law of conservation of energy. That is, the heat lost by the aluminium must be equal to the heat gained by the cold water. This is expressed in change in enthalpies therefore:

- ΔH aluminium = ΔH water

where ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)

The negative sign simply means heat is lost. Therefore we calculate for the mass of water (m):

- 0.5 (900) (20 – 200) = m (4186) (20 – 0)

m = 0.9675 kg

 

Using same mass of water and initial temperature, the final temperature T of a 1.0 kg aluminium block is:

- 1 (900) (T – 200) = 0.9675 (4186) (T – 0)

- 900 T + 180,000 = 4050 T

4950 T = 180,000

T = 36.36°C

 

The final temperature of the water and block is 36.36°C

What is the length of the color attribute?
astraxan [27]

The length of the colour attribute is 6 characters.

<h3>What is a colour attribute?</h3>

Each colour has a distinct look based on three essential characteristics: hue, chroma (saturation), and value (lightness). It's critical to use all three of these properties when describing colour to appropriately identify it and distinguish it from others.

<h3>What is the use of colour attributes?</h3>

The HTML <font> color Attribute specifies the text color within the font element. Values of Attributes: colour name: It uses the colour name to set the text colour.

It should be noticed that colours are represented by the hex triplet.
