A 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm parallel-plate capacitor has a 3.0 mm spacing. The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 1.2×105 V/m

. What is the potential difference across the capacitor? How much charge is on each plate?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the voltage depending on the electric field and the distance, as well as the load depending on the capacitance and the voltage. For the first part we will use the first mentioned relationship, for the second part, we will not only define the load as the capacitance by the voltage but also place it in terms of the Area, the permittivity in free space, the voltage and the distance.

PART A ) Voltage in function of electric field and distance can be defined as,

V = Ed

Our values are,

E = 1.2*10^5 V/m

d = 3.0mm = 3*10^{-3}

Replacing,

V = (1.2*10^5)(3*10^{-3})

V = 360v

Therefore the potential difference across the capacitor is 360V

PART B) The charge can be defined as,

Q = CV = \frac{\epsilon AV}{d}

Here,

\epsilon = 8.85*10^{-12} F/m, Permittivity of free space

A = s^2, area of each capacitor plate

s = Length of capacitor plate

Replacing,

Q =  \frac{\epsilon AV}{d}

Q =  \frac{(8.85*10^{-12})(0.03)^2(240)}{2.0*10^{-8}m}

Q = 9.558*10^{-10}C

Therefore the charge on each plate is 9.558*10^{-10}C

How long does it take for a 4 inch candle to burn out
kotykmax [81]

What does "a 4-inch candle" mean ?
Is that the length of the candle or its diameter ?

The life of a candle depends on its length, its diameter, the
thickness and starting-length of its wick, the exact substance
of which it's composed ... the type of wax ... and the motions
of the air around it.

I'll always remember the candle shop I visited ... I don't remember
what I was doing in a candle shop, but I was there.  There was a
little wax turkey up on a glass shelf, with a tiny tiny flame in the
middle of its back, so tiny that you could easily miss noticing it. 
The little sign standing next to the little turkey on the shelf explained
that this was a Thanksgiving candle ... it was lit last Thanksgiving,
and would continue burning until NEXT Thanksgiving, roughly a year later !

Which term best describes the process that occurs when light passes through a lens? A. reflection B. refraction C. resonance D.
Elza [17]
A. Refraction, meaning the same thing...it just passes through. Reflection is when light, heat, or sound bounces off a surface, kind of like an echo. Resonance is sound reverberating, or vibrating. And polarization is the action of not allowing the vibrations of a transverse wave. Hoped this helps you :) 

Short answer: Refraction

What do positive ions tend to do
notsponge [240]

Answer:

an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons, as a cation (positive ion), which is created by electron loss and is attracted to the cathode in electrolysis, or as an anion (negative ion), which is created by an electron gain and is attracted to the anode.
