Answer:

Q = 1.35*10⁻¹¹ C.

Explanation:

By definition, the capacitance of a capacitor, is the charge on one of the plates, divided by the potential difference between them, as follows:

C= \frac{Q}{V}

At the same time, we can show (applying Gauss' Law to the surface of one of the plates), that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor (with a dielectric of air), can be written as follows:

C = ε₀*A / d

Replacing by the values of A, and d, and taking into account that

ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² F/m,

we get the value of the capacitance as follows:

C = 8.97*10⁻¹² F

As the voltage of an AA battery is 1.5 V, and is all applied to the capacitor, we can conclude that the charge on one of the plates is as follows:

Q = C* V = 8.97*10⁻¹² F* 1.5 V = 1.35*10⁻¹¹ C

<h2>Answer:</h2>

13.5 x 10⁻¹² C

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>First let's calculate the capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor.</em>

The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is related to the area(A) of either of the plates of the capacitor and the distance (d) between the  plates as follows;

C = A x ε₀ / d

Where;

ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² F/m

<em>From the question, the following are given;</em>

A = 3.9cm x 3.9cm = 0.039m x 0.039m = 0.001521m²

d = 1.5mm = 0.0015m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) above to give;</em>

C = 0.001521 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² / 0.0015

C = 8.97 x 10⁻¹² F

<em>Now, let's calculate the quantity of charge supplied by the battery as follows;</em>

The charge (Q) supplied to a capacitor is the product of its capacitance (C) and the voltage (V) supplied as follows;

Q = C x V

<em>The following are known;</em>

C = 8.97 x 10⁻¹²F

V = 1.5V (Since the voltage on a regular AA battery is 1.5V)

<em>Substitute the values of C and V into equation (ii);</em>

Q = 8.97 x 10⁻¹² x 1.5

Q = 13.5 x 10⁻¹² C

The quantity of charge (Q) supplied to each of the plates is 13.5 x 10⁻¹² C

Consider a single-slit diffraction pattern for λ=589nm , projected on a screen that is 1.00 m from a slit of width 0.25 mm. How
const2013 [10]

Answer: i) 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm, ii) 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm

Explanation: The formulae that relates the position of a fringe from the center to the wavelength, distance between slits and distance between slits and screen is given below as

y = R×(mλ/d)

Where y = distance between nth fringes and the center fringe.

m = order of fringe

λ = wavelength of light = 589nm = 589×10^-9m

R = distance between slits and screen = 1.0m

d = distance between slits = 0.25mm = 0.00025m

For distance between the first dark fringe and the center fringe.

This implies that m = 1

y = 1 × 589×10^-9 × 1/0.00025

y = 589×10^-9/0.00025

y = 2,356,000 × 10^-9

y = 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm

For the second dark fringe, this implies that m = 2

y = 1 × 2 × 589×10^-9/0.00025

y = 1178 × 10^-9 /0.00025

y = 4,712,000 × 10^-9

y = 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm

Example of energy transfer from potential to kinetic and back
Alex_Xolod [135]

Swimmer and Divers. The Potential energy is transferred into Kinetic energy, and allows the diver to submerge into the water. The Kinetic energy then allows the diver to submerge and dive into the water. Potential energy however, is needed to allow the diver to get back out of the water after diving to get up and go and dive again, and then the Kinetic energy is transferred back to Potential energy to repeat the process.

Hope :) -Emilie Xo this is right and it helps! Xo
