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 mass spectrometer was used in the discovery of the electron. In the velocity selector, the electric and magnetic fields are se
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

v = \frac{Bqr}{m}

v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

(c) Let K be the kinetic energy

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

r=\frac{mv}{Bq}

r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

Electricity costs 10p per unit. How much will it cost Sam to use a 85W laptop and a 60W lamp for an hour?
Goryan [66]
The standard unit is KW/hr, = 1,000W/hr.
(85 + 60) = 145W.
You need to find its fraction of 1,000W., so (145/1000) = 0.145 KWH.
(0.145 x 10p) = 1.45p. per hr.

A research submarine can withstand an external pressure of 62 megapascals (million pascals) all the while maintaining a comforta
Alex

Answer:

<em>The depth will be equal to</em> <em>6141.96 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

pressure on the submarine P_{sea} = 62 MPa = 62 x 10^6 Pa

we also know that P_{sea} = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of sea water = 1029 kg/m^3

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth below the water that this pressure acts

substituting values, we have

P_{sea} = 1029 x 9.81 x h = 10094.49h

The gauge pressure within the submarine P_{g} = 101 kPa =  101000 Pa

this gauge pressure is balanced by the atmospheric pressure (proportional to 101325 Pa) that acts on the surface of the sea, so it cancels out.

Equating the pressure P_{sea}, we have

62 x 10^6 = 10094.49h

depth h = <em>6141.96 m</em>

What electrons are in “motion”, what do you have?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When a positive charged object is placed near a conductor electrons are attracted the the object. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side. As you know, electrons are always moving. They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.
