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

Calculate the amount of air in a room 6m long, 5m wide and 3mm high.​
sattari [20]

Answer:

0.09kg of air

Explanation:

The dimensions of the room are given

change the height to meters by dividing it by thousand.

For the volume multiplying the length,width and height (all should be in the same unit most suitable being meters).

Volume refers to the amount of space inside a box or a object.

The amount of air is equal to the volume.

When a comet comes close to the Sun, what happens to it that makes it bright and easier to see?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comet is made by dust particles, icy particles, gases etc.

A comet has a fixed time to complete a revolution around the sun.

As a comet comes nearer to the sun, due to the heat of the sun the vapour and the icy particles becomes gases and due to the radial pressure of energy od sun, we observe a tail of comet which has vapours mainly. SI the comet is visible easily.

Most cars have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of coppe
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

Explanation:

We know that the change in volume ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁) where V₀ = volume of radiator = 21.1 L, β = coefficient of volume expansion of fluid = 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C

and T₁ = initial temperature of radiator = 12.2°C and T₂ = final temperature of radiator = 95.0°C

Substituting these values into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × (95.0°C - 12.2°C)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × 82.8°C = 698832 × 10⁻⁶ L

= 0.698832 L

≅ 0.699 L = 0.7 L to the nearest tenth litre

So, 0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

Brass requires more energy than silver

Aluminum requires more energy than copper

Aluminum requires more energy than brass

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a substance indicates the amount of heat energy required to raise 1 kg of that substance by 1 degree in temperature.

Mathematically:

C=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}

where

Q is the heat supplied to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature

Therefore, the higher the specific heat capacity of a substance, the more energy is needed to increase its temperature.

Here we can compare the specific heat capacity of the materials mentioned:

Silver: C=0.233 J/gK

Brass: C=0.380 J/gK

Platinum: C=0.130 J/gK

Aluminium: C=0.910 J/gK

Copper: C=0.390 J/gK

Therefore, the correct statements are:

Brass requires more energy than silver

Aluminum requires more energy than copper

Aluminum requires more energy than brass
