A parallel plate capacitor (air filled) is connected to a 25 volt battery and left alone for a long time. The charge on the capa

citor is 221 nanoCoulombs. The battery is then disconnected, and the plates are pulled apart so that their separation distance is 3 times the original. What is the change in energy stored in the capacitor in micro-Joules

Answer: 5.52 *10^-6J

Explanation: In order  to explain this problem we have to take into account the expression for the stored energy in a capacitor which is given by:

U=Q^2/2*C=2.76*10^-6 J ( initial stored energy)

We also know that C=Q/V=221*10^-9/25 V=8.84*10^-9 F

When the separation between the plates is increased 3 times, the capacitanve decrease a factor 1/3 then the stored energy is:

U=Q^2/(2*C/3)= 3*Q^2/(2*C)=3*(221*10^-9)^2/2*8.84*10^-9=8.28*10^-6J ( final stored energy)

The change in the stored energy is : 8.28*10^-6J-2.76*10^-6 J=

=5.52 *10^-6 J

Thermal Conductors don't have to be hot to transfer heat, explain a situation when a ice cube would still transfer heat to anoth
barxatty [35]
An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).

A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.

If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F).  An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.

Boyle's law balloon was filled to a volume of 2.50 l when the temperature was 30.0∘
aliina [53]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 =284.15 x 2.50 / 303.15

<span>V2 = 2.34 L</span>
