Answer:

Explanation:

Electric energy per unit volume

= (1 / 2) x ε₀ E²

Total energy

= energy per unit volume x volume

=  (1 / 2) x ε₀ E² x A d  , A is plate area

= (1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (σ/ε₀)² x A² d) [ E is electric field ]

(1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (σA/ε₀)² X d)

(1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (Q/ε₀)² X d

= (1 / 2A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d

So total energy is proportional to d , distance between plates

if  d is changed to d/2

total energy also becomes half.

(1 / 2A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d / 2

(1 / 4A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d

=

How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.
Alex_Xolod [135]
A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

On what factor does speed of sound depend​
velikii [3]

Answer:

For sound waves to travel, there is a requirement of medium and density of the medium is considered to be one of the factors on which the speed of sound depends. When the medium is dense, the molecules in the medium are closely packed which means that the sound travels faster.

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 6.8 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Force is 14.93N along positive y axis.

Explanation:

We know that force 'F' on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field of intensity B is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{Il}\times \overrightarrow{B}

where L is the length of the conductor

Applying values in the equation we have force F =

\overrightarrow{F}=6.8\times 6.1\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=41.48\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{F}=14.93N\widehat{j}

Thus force is 14.93N along positive y axis.
