Answer:

a. V = (a - b)d/2ε₀ b. 2ε₀A/d

Explanation:

a. The potential difference between the plates

Using Gauss' law, we first find the electric field between the plates

ε₀∫E.dA = Q where Q = charge enclosed, E = electric field

Now Q = [a +(-b)]A = (a - b)A where + a and -b are the surface charge densities of the plates and A is the area of the plates.

ε₀∫E.dA = Q

ε₀∫EdAcos0 + ε₀∫EdAcos0 = (a - b)A

ε₀E∫dA + ε₀E∫dA = (a -b)A

ε₀EA + ε₀EA = (a -b)A

2ε₀EA = (a -b)A

E = (a - b)/2ε₀

We now find the potential difference, V between the plates from

V = ∫E.dl

V =E∫dl

V = Ed  where ∫dl = d the distance between the plates.

V = (a - b)d/2ε₀

b. The capacitance between them

Capacitance C = Q/V

= (a - b)A ÷ (a - b)d/2ε₀

= 2ε₀A/d

A handful of professional skaters have taken a skateboard through an inverted loop in a full pipe. For a typical pipe with a dia
Bingel [31]

Answer

given,

diameter of the pipe is  =  (14 ft)4.27 m

minimum speed of the skater must have at very top = ?

At the topmost point of the pipe the  normal force will be equal to zero.

F = mg

centripetal force acting on the skateboard

F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

equating both the force equation

mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = \sqrt{gr}

r = d/2 = 14/ 2 = 7 ft

or

r = 4.27/2 = 2.135 m

g = 32 ft/s²   or g = 9.8 m/s²

v = \sqrt{32 \times 7}

v = 14.96 ft/s

or

v = \sqrt{9.8 \times 2.135}

v = 4.57 m/s

if 100 kilojoules of energy is used to heat 500 grams of water what is the temperature change of the water​
Serjik [45]

Answer:

47.8 °C

Explanation:

Use the heat equation:

q = mCΔT

where q is the heat absorbed/lost,

m is the mass of water,

C is the specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Here, q = 100 kJ, m = 0.5 kg, and C = 4.184 kJ/kg/°C.

100 kJ = (0.5 kg) (4.184 kJ/kg/°C) ΔT

ΔT = 47.8 °C

The resistance (R) of a copper wire varies directly as its length (L). Write this relation as a formula using k as the constant
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to ohm's law current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across two end of conductor.

i.e. V\propto R

V=R I

where R=resistance

R\propto L

R\propto \frac{1}{d^2}

whee L and d are length and Diameter

thus R=k \frac{L}{d^2}

where k=constant of Variation
