Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular alumin

um plates, each 21 cm in diameter, separated by 1.0 cm. How much charge can be added to each of the plates before a spark jumps between the two plates? For such flat electrodes, assume that value of 3×106N/C of the field causes a spark.

Answer:

\rm 9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Diameter of the plates of the capacitor, D = 21 cm = 0.21 m.
  • Distance of separation between the plates, d = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m.
  • Minimum value of electric field that produces spark, \rm E=3\times 10^6\ N/C.

When the dimensions of the plate of the capacitor is comparatively much larger than the distance of separation between the plates, then, according to the Gauss' law of electrostatics, the value of the electric field strength in the region between the plates of the capacitor is given by

\rm E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}.

where,

  • \rm \sigma = surface charge density of the plate of the capacitor = \dfrac qA.
  • \rm q = magnitude of the charge on each of the plate.
  • \rm A = surface area of each of the plate =\rm \pi \times (Radius)^2=\pi \times\left ( \dfrac{D}{2}\right )^2= \pi \times \left ( \dfrac{0.21}{2}\right )^2=3.46\times 10^{-2}\ m^2.
  • \epsilon_o = electrical permittivity of free space, having value = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\rm \ C^2N^{-1}m^{-2}.

For the minimum value of electric field that produces spark,

\rm E = \dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\Rightarrow q = E\ A\epsilon_o\\=3\times 10^6\times 3.46\times 10^{-2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\\=9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.

It is the maximum value of the magnitude of charge which can be added up to each of the plates of the capacitor.

A particle of mass 4.5 × 10-8 kg and charge +5.4 μC is traveling due east. It enters perpendicularly a magnetic field whose magn
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

0.00970 s

Explanation:

The centripetal force that causes the charge to move in a circular motion = The force exerted on the charge due to magnetic field

Force due to magnetic field = qvB sin θ

q = charge on the particle = 5.4 μC

v = velocity of the charge

B = magnetic field strength = 2.7 T

θ = angle between the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field = 90°, sin 90° = 1

F = qvB

Centripetal force responsible for circular motion = mv²/r = mvw

where w = angular velocity.

The centripetal force that causes the charge to move in a circular motion = The force exerted on the charge due to magnetic field

mvw = qvB

mw = qB

w = (qB/m) = (5.4 × 10⁻⁶ × 2.7)/(4.5 × 10⁻⁸)

w = 3.24 × 10² rad/s

w = 324 rad/s

w = (angular displacement)/time

Time = (angular displacement)/w

Angular displacement = π rads (half of a circle; 2π/2)

Time = (π/324) = 0.00970 s

Hope this Helps!!!

The question is on the picture.

Between noon and 2 pm, the amount of water in the rain gauge decreased.
This can be caused by evaporation, which turns water into water vapor.
Precipitation would increase the amount of rain water in the gauges, not decrease it.
Condensation occurs after evaporation but wouldn't decrease the water in the gauges by itself.
Runoff is when water on land drains into water sources such as lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. 
So the answer is A. evaporation.

A satellite of mass m is moving in a circular orbit around the earth at a constant speed v and at an altitude h above the earth'
qwelly [4]

The satellite executes a rotation motion around the earth, because Earth's force of attraction plays the role of centripetal force:

Fa=Fcp=>k*Mp*m/(Rp+r)²=mv²/(Rp+r)=>v=√(k*Mp/(Rp+r))=√(6.67*10⁻¹¹*5.98*10²⁴/(6371*10³+1000*10³))=√(39.88*10¹³/(7371*10³))=√(5.41*10⁷)=7355.53 m/s


Check the calculations again !
