A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.38 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 2.30 mm. If the separa

tion is decreased to 1.15 mm, what is the energy stored (a) if the capacitor is disconnected from the potential source so the charge on the plates remains constant, and (b) if the capacitor remains connected to the potential source so the potential difference between the plates remains constant

Answer:

Explanation:

plate separation = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m

capacity C₁ = ε A / d

= ε A / 2.3 x 10⁻³

C₂ = ε A / 1.15 x 10⁻³

\frac{C_2}{C_1} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

a ) when charge remains constant

energy = \frac{q^2}{2C}

q is charge and C is capacity

energy stored initially E₁= \frac{q^2}{2C_1}

energy stored finally E₂ = \frac{q^2}{2C_2}

\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{C_2}{C_1} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

E_2 = \frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times E_1

= \frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times 8.38

= 4.19 J

b )

In this case potential diff remains constant

energy of capacitor = 1/2 C V²

energy is proportional to capacity as V is constant .

\frac{E_2}{E_1} = \frac{C_2}{C_1}

\frac{E_2}{8.38} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

E_2 = 16.76 .

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

Do all metals expand the same amount when heated??
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The rate at which solids expand when heated depends on the substance. Metals tend to have higher rates of expansion (per degree change in temperature) than non-metal solids, but there is variation even among metals. A table of expansion coefficients can be found here or here.

A 200.0 kg piano is elevated by a crane to a height of 10.0 meters above a sidewalk. If the rope holding the piano breaks, what
Nitella [24]
All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.

The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.

           Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)

                                   = (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)

                                   = (200 · 9.81 · 5)  (kg-m²/s²)

                                   =   9,810 joules   .
