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

BRAINLYIST ASAPPP write and claim evidence and reasoning statement that explains why mercury and Venus do not have any moons
umka2103 [35]

answer:They are too close to the sun!

Explanation:Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.Same with Venus!

A physicist makes a cup of instant coffee and notices that, as the coffee cools, its level drops 3.00 mm in the glass cup. Show
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

change in height  is 1.664 mm

Explanation:

Given data

drops = 3.00 mm

diameter = 5.00 cm = 0.05 mm

decrease  =  350 cm^3

temperature = 95°C to 44.0°C

to find out

the decrease in millimeters in level

solution

we  will calculate here change in volume so we can find how much level is decrease

change in volume = β v change in temp   ...............1

here change in volume = area× height

so = \pi /4 × d² h

so we can say change in volume =  \pi /4 × d² × change in height   .......2

so from equation 1 and 2  we calculate change in height

( β(w) -β(g) )× v× change in temp = \pi /4 × d² × change in height

change in height = 4 × ( β(w) -β(g) ) v× change in temp / \pi /4 × d²

put all value here

change in height = 4 × ( 210 - 27 )(350 ) 10^{-6}× (95-44) / \pi /4 × 0.05²

change in height  is 1.664 mm

After a great many contacts with the charged ball, how is the charge on the rod arranged (when the charged ball is far away)?
faust18 [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.

Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.

Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.
