An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and allowed to charge up. Now a slab of dielectric material is

placed between the plates of the capacitor while the capacitor is still connected to the battery.
After this is done, we find that :

a. the charge on the capacitor had increased.

b. the energy stored in the capacitor had decreased.

c. the voltage across the capacitor had increased.

d. the charge on the capacitor had not changed.

e. None of these choice are true.

Answer:

The charge on the capacitor had increased

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is as follows as;

C=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}  

Here, C is the capacitance, \epsilon _{0} is the permittivity of free space, A is the area and d is the distance between the parallel plate capacitor.

When a slab of dielectric material is placed between the plates of the capacitor then the expression for the capacitance is as follows;

C=\frac{K\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, K is the dielectric constant.

In the given problem, a slab is inserted between the plates of the capacitor then the capacitance of the capacitor will increase in this case. Therefore, the option (a) is true.

The expression for the charge stored in the capacitor is as;

Q= CV

Here, Q is the charge and V is the potential.

The charge will also increase in this case as the charge stored in the capacitor is directly proportional to the capacitance. Therefore, the option (d) is not true.

The expression for the energy stored in the capacitor is as follows;

E=\frac{CV^{2}}{2}

The voltage is constant in the given problem but the capacitance increases then the energy stored in the capacitor will increase. Therefore, the option (b) is not true.

The voltage across the capacitor will remain same as the capacitor is still connected to the battery. Therefore, the option (c) is not true.

Therefore, only option (a) is true.

A satellite is in a circular orbit 21000 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of
mina [271]

Answer:

(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km

Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m;    &

the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s

We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m

                                  = (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m

                                  = 27370000

                                  = 2.737 × 10⁷m

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷  × 0.532655 )

                              = 3818.215

                              = 3.818 × 10³

                             = 3.818 Km

To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:

Time (t) = 2 π × \frac{r}{V_o}

            = 2 × 3.14 × \frac{2.737*10^7}{3.818*10^3}

            = 45019.28

            = 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s

Which of the following objects has the greatest kinetic energy?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

a baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

For the question, Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If the velocity is doubled the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

The compressor on an air conditioner draws 66.1 a when it starts up. the start-up time is about 0.388 s. how much charge passes
Ierofanga [76]
The current intensity is defined as the amount of charge flowing through a certain point of a wire divided by the time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where Q is the charge and \Delta t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we have
Q=I \Delta t

for the compressor in our problem, the intensity of current is I=66.1 A, while the time is \Delta t= 0.388 s, so the amount of charge that crosses a certain point of the circuit during this time is
Q=I \Delta t=(66.1 A)(0.388 s)=25.65 C
