<h2>Answer:</h2>

20.6kV

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The capacitance (C₀) of a parallel plate capacitor is given by;

C₀ = A x ε₀ / d

Where;

A = Area of one of the plates = 29cm² = 0.0029m²

ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²F/m

d = distance between the plates = 0.0100mm = 0.00001m

But since there is a dielectric material (nylon) between the plates, the effective capacitance (C) will increase to k x C₀.  i.e

C = k x C₀   -----------------------(i)

Where;

k = dielectric constant = 3.4 and;

C₀ = A x ε₀ / d

<em>Substitute the value of C₀ into equation (i) to give;</em>

C = k x A x ε₀ / d  -----------------(ii)

<em>Substitute the values of k, A, d and C₀ into equation (ii) to give;</em>

C = 3.4 x 0.0029 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² / 0.00001

C = 8.7261 x 10⁻⁹ F

From the capacitance (C) calculated above, the amount of voltage(V) supplied can be found using the following relation;

Q = C x V         ------------------------------(iii)

Where Q is the charge on the capacitor = 0.18mC = 0.18 x 10⁻³C

<em>Make V the subject of the formula in equation (iii) above;</em>

V = Q / C

<em>Substitute the values of Q and C into the equation to give;</em>

V = (0.18 x 10⁻³) / (8.7261 x 10⁻⁹)

V = 0.0206 x 10⁶V

V = 20600V

V = 20.6kV

Therefore, the voltage applied in kV is 20.6

Answer:

20.60 kV

Explanation:

Capacitance of parallel plates without dielectric between them is:

C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0}A}{d}

with d the distance between the plates, A the area of the plates and ε₀ the constant 8.85419\times10^{-12}\frac{C^{2}}{Nm^{2}}, so :

C_0=\frac{(8.85419\times10^{-12})(0.0029)}{0.0100\times10^{-3}}=2.57\times10^{-9} F

But the dielectric constant is defined as:

k=\frac{C}{C_{0}}

With C the effective capacitance (with the dielectric) and Co the original capacitance (without the dielectric). So, the new capacitance is:

C=kC_0

But capacitance is related with voltage by:

C=\frac{Q}{V}

with Q the charge and V the voltage, using the new capacitance and solving for V:

kC_0=\frac{Q}{V}

V=\frac{Q}{kC_0}=\frac{0.18\times10{-3}}{(3.4)(2.57\times10^{-9})}=20599.68V=20.60 kV

Dmitry [639]
The answer is 0 degrees Celsius (0°C). It will be where the line flat lines the first time.  The second time would be the boiling point.  An experiment yielded the above temperature and time information. The freezing point of the material in this experiment if the material is a solid at time zero is 0 degrees Celsius (0°C) .

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c
amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.
