Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

Which of the following usually occurs with a short circuit? a. All parts of the circuit will begin to carry higher amounts of cu
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Hi,

The correct answer option is; D. Most of the current will flow through one part of the circuit.

Explanation:

A short circuit is a low resistance path in an electric connection between two conductors supplying current in a circuit.

It happens when excess amounts of current flow in the power source through a 'short path'.

Short circuits occur at very high temperatures which is of course caused by the heat produced during dissipation.

An example of application of short circuit is arc welding, where heating is achieved through short circuit.

What electrons are in “motion”, what do you have?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When a positive charged object is placed near a conductor electrons are attracted the the object. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side. As you know, electrons are always moving. They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.

Debbie places two shopping carts in a cart Corral. she pushes the first cart, which then pushes a second cart. what force is bei
Bingel [31]

When Debbie pushes the first cart she is using an applied force. An applied force is created when someone or something pushes another thing using, of course, an applied force. Now, when the second cart is being pushed by the first cart, this is also an applied force. You can tell because the first cart is being pushed using forced and this causes the second cart to be pushed using some of the force that is being transmitted to the first cart.


Debbie exerts applied force on the first cart. The first cart exert applied force on the second cart.
