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

Two bricks are released at the same time from the same point ten feet above the ground. One of the bricks is falling straight do
natita [175]
Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.

Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will 
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.

This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:

If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time !  Even though
they'll be far apart.

Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.

A voltmeter was used to check the coolant and a reading of 0.2 volt with the engine off was measured. A reading of 0.8 volt was
Julli [10]

Answer:

C. Technician B

Explanation:

Excessive Galvanic activity:

To check for excessive galvanic activity, voltmeter is used to check the coolant. If the voltmeter is giving a reading greater than 0.5 V, there is excessive galvanic activity. Excessive galvanic activity is solved by flushing the coolant fluid from engine and refiling it.

Electrolysis problem:

When the system is not properly ground, the cooling system accepts stray current and the coolant becomes an electrolyte which might eat up the radiator. To test for excessive electrolysis, start the engine and turn on all electrical accessories, if the reading is more than 0.5 V, there is electrolysis problem. Ground wires and connections should be checked at this point to stop stray current.

In our case, the first reading is 0.2 V(engine turned off) which is normal and there is no excessive galvanic activity. This means that Technician A is not correct. The second reading is 0.8 V when the engine and all electrical accessories are turned on. This reading is greater than 0.5 V which means there is an electrolysis problem. This means that Technician B is correct and ground wires and connections should be inspected and repaired.
