A 400 µF capacitor is constructed out of two parallel plates of very large area which are separated by 1 mm. A battery is used t

o charge the capacitor to a potential of 100 V . (a) If the capacitor is disconnected from the battery, how much work (in Joules) must be done to pull the plates apart to a separation of 2 mm?

Answer:

W=2 J

Explanation:

Given that

C= 400 µF

V= 100 V

d= 1 mm

Energy before disconnected from the battery

U= 1/2 CV²=Q²/(2C)

Energy after  disconnected from the battery

U'=1/2 C'V²=Q²/(2C')

The work done W

W= U' - U

W= Q²/(2C') - Q²/(2C)

W=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}\left ( \dfrac{C}{C'} -1\right )

1/2 CV²=Q²/(2C)

W=\dfrac{CV^2}{2}\left ( \dfrac{C}{C'} -\right )

We know that

C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}

C'=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}

Given that

d'=2mm ,d= 1mm

C/C'= d'/d= 2

W=\dfrac{CV^2}{2}\left ( \dfrac{C}{C'} -\right )

By putting the values

W=\dfrac{400\times 10^{-6}\times 100^2}{2}( 2 -1 )

W=2 J

What effects do coil of wire on a compass after it has been connected to a battery​
Yanka [14]

Explanation:

The compass needle moved when the wire was connected to the battery. The important point here is that the needle is affected by the wire only when both ends of the wire are connected to the battery because only at this time is current flowing through the circuit.

A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to x_m

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is \frac{kx_m^2}{2}

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

U=\frac{kx^2}{2}

it is given

k=U

thus 2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2x^2=x_m^2

x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}
