Answer;

A. orographic lifting

Explanation;

Orographic lifting is a process that takes place when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain.

This can be explained by; When air is blocked by mountains, it cannot go through these mountains, As it ascends or moves up the mountain, the air then cools as it rises and when it cools to its saturation point, the water vapor condenses and cloud forms.

These clouds formed are known as orographic clouds, that develop in response to the lifting forced by the topography the earth.

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.50 nC when connected to a potential difference of 210.0 V. Its plates are separated

Lelu [443]

Incomplete question as we have not told to find what quantity.The complete question is here

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.50 nC when connected to a potential difference of 210.0 V. Its plates are separated by vacuum and the inner radius of the outer shell is 5.00 cm.calculate: (a) the capacitance; (b) the radius of the inner sphere; (c) the electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere.

Answer:

(a) $C=16.7pF$

(b) $r_{a} =3.749cm$

Explanation:

Given data

$Q=3.50nC\\V=210V\\r_{b}=5.0cm$

For part (a)

The Capacitance given by:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}\\ C=\frac{3.50*10^{-9} C}{210V}\\C=1.6666*10^{-11}F\\or\\C=16.7pF$

For part (b)

The Capacitance of coordinates is given as

$C=\frac{4\pi e}{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }\\ So\\{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }=\frac{4\pi *8.85*10^{-12} }{1.666*10^{-11}}=6.672m^{-1} \\ \frac{1}{r_{a} }=6.672+(1 /0.05)\\\frac{1}{r_{a} }=26.672\\r_{a} =1/26.672\\r_{a} =0.0375m\\r_{a} =3.749cm$
