Oscilloscopes have parallel metal plates inside them to deflect the electron beam. These plates are called the deflecting plates

. Typically, they are squares 3.0 cm on a side and separated by 5.0 mm, with very thin air in between.
What is the capacitance of these deflecting plates and hence of the oscilloscope. (This capacitance can sometimes have an effect on the circuit you are trying to study and must be taken into consideration in your calculations.)

Answer:

The capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF.

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance of the capacitor in terms of area and distance is as follows;

C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, A is the area, d is the distance and \varepsilon _{0} is the absolute permittivity.

Convert the side of the square from cm to m.

s= 3.0 cm

s= 0.030 m

Calculate the area of the square.

A= s_^{2}

Put s= 0.030 m.

A=(0.030)_^{2}

A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2}

Convert distance from mm to m.

d= 5.0 mm

d=5\times10^{-3}m

Calculate the capacitance of the deflecting plates.

C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}

Put d=5\times10^{-3}m, A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2} and \varepsilon _{0}=8.85\times 10^{-12}Fm^{-1}.

C=\frac{(8.85\times 10^{-12})(9\times10^{-4})}{5\times10^{-3}}

C=1.59\times 10^{-12}F

C=1.59 pF

Therefore, the capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF.

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>
