Answer:

a) C = 40.138\,pF, b) q = 16.056\,nC, c) U = 3.212\,\mu J

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of two parallel plates capacitor with dielectric is given by the following expression:

C = K\cdot \epsilon_{o}\cdot \frac{A}{d}

Where:

K - Dielectric constant.

\epsilon_{o} - Vaccum permitivity.

A - Plate area.

d - Distance between plates.

Hence, the capacitance of the system is:

C = (4.00)\cdot (8.854\times 10^{-12}\,\frac{F}{m} )\cdot \left(\frac{17\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}{0.150\times 10^{-2}\,m}\right)

C = 4.014\cdot 10^{-11}\,F

C = 40.138\,pF

b) The charge can be found by using the definition of capacitance:

q = C\cdot V_{batt}

q = (4.014\times 10^{-11}\,F)\cdot (400\,V)

q = 1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C

q = 16.056\,nC

c) The energy stored in the charged capacitor is:

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot Q\cdot V_{batt}

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C)\cdot (400\,V)

U = 3.212\times 10^{-6}\,J

U = 3.212\,\mu J

Answer:

Part A: 40.12×10⁻¹² F

Part B: 1.6048×10⁻⁸ C.

Part C: 3.2096×10⁻⁶ J

Explanation:

Part A

The formula of the capacitance of a capacitor is given as,

C = εrε₀A/d............... Equation 1

Where, C = capacitance of the capacitor,  A = Area of the plate, d = distance of separation of the plates, εr = dielectric constant, ε₀ = permitivity of free space.

Given: A = 17 cm² = 0.0017 m², d = 0.150 cm = 0.0015 m, εr = 4.00, ε₀ = 8.85×10⁻¹² F/m

Substitute into equation 1

C = 4(0.0017)(8.85×10⁻¹²)/(0.0015)

C = 40.12×10⁻¹² F.

Part B

Using

Q = CV........................ Equation 2

Where Q = charge on either plates, V = Voltage.

Given: V = 400 V, C  = 40.12×10⁻¹² F

Substitute into equation 3

Q = 400(40.12×10⁻¹²)

Q = 1.6048×10⁻⁸ C.

Part C

The formula for the energy stores in a charged capacitor is given as

U = 1/2CV²..................... Equation 3

Where U = Energy stored in the capacitor

Given: C = 40.12×10⁻¹² F,  V = 400 V

Substitute into equation 3

U = 1/2(40.12×10⁻¹²)(400²)

U = 3.2096×10⁻⁶ J

Number 5 and 6 i need just give answer
sashaice [31]

Explanation:

voltage = current × resistance

5.

12 V = 4.2 A × resistance

resistance = 12 V / 4.2 A = 2.857142857... Ohm

FYI :

4.2 A would be a lot for a small electronic device like a CD player. that would be 12×4.2 = 50.4 Watt, and the CD player would get really hot.

6.

120 V = current × 12 Ohm

current = 120 V / 12 Ohm = 10 A

Jenny and Betty are having a great time at Busch Gardens riding the Ubanga Banga bumper cars. Jenny, who is traveling southward
Alex777 [14]

Jenny is traveling southward.  In order to stop, she needs a northward acceleration.


A better way to say it:

Jenny is traveling southward in her bumper car, so the direction of her velocity is south.  In order to reduce her velocity to zero, a velocity of equal magnitude but directed north must be added to it.  Then the change in velocity is positive northward, and the change in velocity per unit time is acceleration.

A certain atom has atomic number Z = 25 and atomic mass number A = 52. a. What is the approximate radius of the nucleus of this
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

Explanation:

r=r_o\times A^{\frac{1}{3}}

r_o=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m = Constant for all nuclei

r = Radius of the nucleus

A = Number of nucleons

a) Given atomic number of an element = 25

Atomic mass or nucleon number = 52

r=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m\times (52)^{\frac{1}{3}}

r=4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=4.6656 fm

The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) F=k\times \frac{q_1q_2}{a^2}

k=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2 = Coulombs constant

q_1,q_2 = charges kept at distance 'a' from each other

F = electrostatic force between charges

q_1=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C

q_2=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C

Force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter

a=2\times r=2\times 4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=9.3312\times 10^{-15} m

F=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\times \frac{(+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)\times (+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)}{(9.3312\times 10^{-15} m)^2}

F=2.6527 N

The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527
