The dielectric in a capacitor serves two purposes. It increases the capacitance, compared to an otherwise identical capacitor wi

th an air gap, and it increases the maximum potential difference the capacitor can support. If the electric field in a material is sufficiently strong, the material will suddenly become able to conduct, creating a spark. The critical field strength, at which breakdown occurs, is 3.0 MV/m for air, but 60 MV/m for Teflon.
Part A
A parallel-plate capacitor consists of two square plates 16cm on a side, spaced 0.45mm apart with only air between them. What is the maximum energy that can be stored by the capacitor?
Part B
What is the maximum energy that can be stored if the plates are separated by a 0.45-mm-thick Teflon sheet?

Answer: 580 x 10^-3 J

Explanation:

0.6mm is 0.6/1000 = 600*10^-6 m

The plate area is .17*.17 = 28.9*10^-3 m^2

Air:

The voltage that can be sustained by 0.60 mm of air dielectric is:

V = 3.0*10^6* 600*10^-6 = 1800 V

The capacitance is:

C = ε*A/d = 8.854*10^-12 * 28.9*10^-3/600*10^-6 = 426*10^-12 F = 426 pF

The energy stored in a capacitor is:

E = (1/2)*C*V^2 = (1/2)*426*10^-12*(1800)^2 = 691*10^-6 J

Teflon:

The voltage is:

V = 60*10^6* 600*10^-6 = 36*10^3 = 36 kV

According to the listed reference, the relative dielectric constant for teflon is 2.1, this figure multiplies the "ε" of free space.

The capacitance is:

C = ε*A/d = 2.1*8.854*10^-12 * 28.9*10^-3/600*10^-6 = 896*10^-12 F = 896 pF

It would have been easier to note that the capacitance is 2.1 times the air-dielectric case.

The maximum energy stored is:

E = (1/2)*C*V^2 = (1/2)* 896*10^-12* (36*10^3)^2 = 580*10^-3 J

The colour of star depend on its temperature, why?​
taurus [48]

<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>

The normal eye, myopic eye and old age
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1)    f’₀ / f = 1.10, the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Explanation:

You have some problems in the writing of your exercise, we will try to answer.

1) The equation to be used in geometric optics is the constructor equation

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively, f is the focal length

* For the normal eye and with presbyopia

the object is at infinity (p = inf) and the image is on the retina (q = 15 mm = 1.5 cm)

        \frac{1}{f'_o} = 1/ inf + \frac{1}{1.5}

        f'₀ = 1.5 cm

this is the focal length for this type of eye

* Eye with myopia

the distance to the object is p = 15 cm the distance to the image that is on the retina is q = 1.5 cm

           1 / f = 1/15 + 1 / 1.5

           1 / f = 0.733

            f = 1.36 cm

this is the focal length for the myopic eye.

In general, the two focal lengths are related

         f’₀ / f = 1.5 / 1.36

         f’₀ / f = 1.10

The question of the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) For this second part we have a diffraction problem, the point diameter corresponds to the first zero of the diffraction pattern that is given by the expression for a linear slit

          a sin θ= m λ

the first zero occurs for m = 1, as the angles are very small

          tan θ = y / f = sin θ / cos θ

for some very small the cosine is 1

          sin θ = y / f

where f is the distance of the lens (eye)

           y / f = lam / a

in the case of the eye we have a circular slit, therefore the system must be solved in polar coordinates, giving a numerical factor

           y / f = 1.22 λ / D

           y = 1.22 λ f / D

where D is the diameter of the eye

          D = 2R₀

          D = 2 0.1

          D = 0.2 cm

           

the eye has its highest sensitivity for lam = 550 10⁻⁹ m (green light), let's use this wavelength for the calculation

         

* normal eye

the focal length of the normal eye can be accommodated to give a focus on the immobile retian, so let's use the constructor equation

      \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

sustitute

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{1.5}

       \frac{1}{f}= 0.7066

        f = 1.415 cm

therefore the diffraction is

        y = 1.22  550 10⁻⁹  1.415  / 0.2

        y = 4.75 10⁻⁶ m

this is the radius, the diffraction diameter is

       d = 2y

       d_normal = 9.49 10⁻⁶ m

* myopic eye

In the statement they indicate that the distance to the object is p = 15 cm, the retina is at the same distance, it does not move, q = 1.5 cm

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{ 1.5}

        \frac{1}{f}= 0.733

         f = 1.36 cm

diffraction is

        y = 1.22 550 10-9 1.36 10-2 / 0.2 10--2

        y = 4.56 10-6 m

the diffraction diameter is

        d_myope = 2y

         d_myope = 9.16 10-6 m

         \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} = 9.49 /9.16

        \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} =  1.04

we can see that the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Light of wavelength 597 nm falls on a double slit, and the first bright fringe of the interference pattern is seen at an angle o
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

2.2 µm

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

Given wavelength = 597 nm

Angle, \theta  = 15.8°

First bright fringe means , m = 1

So,

d\times sin\ 15.8^0=1\times \597\ nm

d\times 0.2723=1\times \597\ nm

d=2192.43481\ nm

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1 µm = 10⁻⁶ m

So,

1 nm = 10⁻³ nm

Thus,

<u>Distance between slits ≅ 2.2 µm</u>

Based on illustrations of magnetic field lines, where could an object be placed so it would not experience a magnetic force
tiny-mole [99]

<u>Halfway</u><u> between the like poles of two magnets, because the field lines bend away and do not enter this area.</u>

How does a magnetic field diagram show where the field is strongest?

  • The magnetic field lines do not ever cross.
  • The lines include arrowheads to indicate the direction of the force exerted by a magnetic north pole.
  • The closer the lines are to the poles, the stronger the magnetic field (thus the magnetic field from a bar magnet is highest closest to the poles).

Where is magnetic field the strongest and weakest on a magnet?

  • The bar magnet's magnetic field is strongest at its core and weakest between its two poles.
  • The magnetic field lines are densest immediately outside the bar magnet and least dense in the core.

Which two locations on the magnet would have the greatest attractive forces?

  • Inside the magnet itself, the field lines run from the south pole to the north pole.
  • The magnetic field is strongest in areas of greatest density of magnetic field lines, or areas of the greatest magnetic flux density.
