A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 360 cm2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the

voltage source. When the plates are moved 0.8 cm farther apart, the voltage between the plates increases by 100 V. What is the charge Q on the positive plate of the capacitor?

Answer:

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Explanation:

We are given that a parallel- plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference V and then disconnected from the voltage source.

1 m =100 cm

Surface area =S=\frac{360}{10000}=0.036 m^2

\Delta d=0.8 cm=0.008 m

\Delta V=100 V

We have to find the charge Q on the positive plates of the capacitor.

V=Initial voltage between plates

d=Initial distance between plates

Initial Capacitance of capacitor

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{d}

Capacitance of capacitor after moving plates

C_1=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{(d+\Delta d)}

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Potential difference between plates after moving

V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

V+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}+100=\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0S}

\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0 S}-\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}=100

\frac{Q\Delta d}{\epsilon_0 S}=100

\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=\frac{100\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.036}{0.008}

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Hence, the charge on positive plate of capacitor=Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when
frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 8000 8000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs
sammy [17]

Answer:

Angle of first order maximum, \theta=21.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=452\ nm=452\times 10^{-9}\ m

Number of lines, N = 8000 per cm

The relation between the number of lines and the slit width is given by :

d=\dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{8000/cm}  

d=0.000125\ cm=1.25\times 10^{-6}\ m

The equation of grating is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

n = 1

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

sin\theta=\dfrac{452\times 10^{-9}}{1.25\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=21.19^{\circ}

So, the angle of the first-order maximum is 21.19 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

A man does 500 J of work pushing a car a distance of 2 m. How much force does he apply? Assume there is no friction.
Dmitry [639]

The correct answer is A. 250N

Work is a product of force and distance.

That is, work done=force×distance

Therefore substituting for the values in the question:

500J=force×2m

force= 500Nm/2m=250N

another unit for work done is Nm as force as the SI unit of force is newtons and distance in meters
