Suppose that we have a 1000pF parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric charged to 1000V. The capacitor terminals are open ci

rcuited.
Find the stored energy. If the plates are moved farther apart so that d is doubled, determine the new voltage on the capacitor and the new stored energy.

Where did the extra energy come from?

Please show all workings & calculations on how you came to your answer.

Answer:

W = 1 mJ

V_new = 2000 V

W_new = 2 mJ

The extra energy came from the work done from moving the plates

Explanation:

We are given;

Capacitance; C = 1000pF = 10^(-9) F

Voltage; V = 1000V

Now,formula for stored energy in a parallel plate capacitor is given by;

W = (1/2)CV² = (1/2)(10^(-9))(1000²) = 0.5 mJ

However, in this case, it's W = 0.5 x 2 = 1 mJ since parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric

When plates are moved and distance between plates is doubled(net charge is the same), thus we can calculate voltage from;

Q = CV

Since, C_new = C/2

Thus,

Q = (C/2)V_new

V_new = 2Q/C

Thus, V_new = 2V

Thus, V_new = 2 x 1000 = 2000 V

Now,

W_new = (1/2)C_new•(V_new)² = (1/2) (0.5C)•(2V)² = CV² = 2W = 2 x 1 = 2mJ

A certain working substance receives 100 Btu reversibly as heat at a temperature of 1000℉ from an energy source at 3600°R. Refer

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

t1 = 1000 F = 1460 R

t0 = 80 F = 540 R

T2 = 3600 R

The working substance has an available energy in reference to the 80F source of:

B1 = Q1 * (1 - T0 / T1)

B1 = 100 * (1 - 540 / 1460) = 63 BTU

The available energy of the heat from the heat wource at 3600 R is

B2 = Q1 * (1 - T0 / T2)

B2 = 100 * (1 - 540 / 3600) = 85 BTU

The reduction of available energy between the source and the 1460 R temperature is:

B3 = B2 - B1 = 85 - 63 = 22 BTU

Part A - Transmitted power A solid circular rod is used to transmit power from a motor to a machine. The diameter of the rod is

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that solid circular rod rotates at constant speed and neglecting losses throughout the system, power is calculated as the product of torque and angular speed. That is to say:

$\dot W = T \cdot \omega$

There is a formula that relates torque with shear stress:

$\tau = \frac{T \cdot D}{2 \cdot J}$

Where $J$ is the torsion module, whose formula for a solid circular cross section is:

$J = \frac{\pi \cdot D^{4}}{32}$

The tension module is calculated herein:

$J = 3.835 in^{4}$

Maximum allowed torsion is found by isolating it from shear stress equation:

$T_{max} = \frac{2 \cdot J \cdot \tau_{max}}{D}$

$T_{max} = 31.907 kip \cdot in\\T_{max} = 2.659 kip \cdot ft$

Then, maximum transmissible power is determined directly:

$\dot W = (2.659 kip \cdot ft) \cdot (2)\cdot (\pi) \cdot (170 rpm)\\\dot W \approx 2840.188 \frac{kip \cdot ft}{min} \\\dot W \approx 86.066 h.p.$

If x < 5 and x >c, give a value of c such that there

Arlecino [84]

we have

x<5

x>c

we know that

The solution is the intersection of both solution sets of the given inequalities.

The solutions of the compound inequality must be solutions of both inequalities.

The value of c could be 5 or any number greater than 5, such that there are no solutions to the compound inequality

Because

A number cannot be both less than 5 and greater than 5 at the same time

therefore

the answer is

for c_> there are no solutions to the compound inequality

Suppose a student rubs a Teflon rod with wool and then briefly touches it to an initially neutral aluminum rod suspended by insu

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Due to touch of teflon, its charge will reduce but will not go to zero. Some amount of its initial charge will be transferred to Aluminum rod. So, aluminum rod will have a non-zero negative charge.
