Answer:
k = 6.72
Explanation:
K of paper = 3.7
k of air = 1
Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So
V = Q / C = 2.5
Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .
capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .
V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)
= 3.7 Q/C
3.7 x 2.5
= 9.25 V
In the second case ,
capacitance due to new unknown dielectric k
= C/3.7 x k
= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )
V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )
= 3.7 Q/kC
.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )
k = 3.7 / .55
= 6.72
Because the Earth's axis is not "straight up and down" as we move
around the sun.
So when we're on one side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly toward
the sun. During that time the sun shines more directly on the top half
of the Earth, and less directly on the bottom half. The people on the
top half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the bottom half see the sun lower in the sky, and
their weather is cooler.
Then, when we're on the other side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly
away from the sun. During that time the sun shines more directly on the
bottom half
of the Earth, and less directly on the top half. The people on
the bottom half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the top half see the sun lower in the sky, and their
weather is cooler.
The Earth makes the complete trip around the sun in one year, so the
people on the Earth go through this cycle of higher/lower sun and
warmer/cooler weather every year.
