Hello There!

Great Question You Asked.

I Will Provide A Number Of Steps To Below To Show You Measures of Being Safe

Number 1.

Find shelter immediately. If you find yourself caught in a lightning storm, the key to minimizing danger is to get inside a protective structure. While most people seek shelter if lightning appears to be near, people commonly wait too long to seek shelter. If you can detect lightning, it may be close enough to strike you so always make sure you are safe.

Number 2.

Try to stay away from windows because windows provide a direct path for lightning.

Number 3.

Don’t touch anything metal or electrical.

A 5.00-V battery charges the parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 865 mm2 and an air-filled separation of 3.00 m

Westkost [7]

Answer:

W = 3.21x10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

The work required to separate the plates can be calculated using the following equation:

$W = U_{2} - U_{1} = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2})$

Where:

U₂: is the final stored energy

U₁: is the initial stored energy

C₂: is the final capacitance

C₁: is the initial capacitance

V₁: is the initial potential difference = 5.00 V

V₂: is the final potential difference

The initial and final capacitance is:

$C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}}$

Where:

ε₀: is the vacuum permittivity = 8.85x10⁻¹² C²/(N*m²)

d: is the initial distance = 3.00 mm = 3.00x10⁻³ m

A: is the plate area = 865 mm² = 8.65x10⁻⁴ m²

$C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F$

Similarly, C₂ is:

$C_{2} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{2}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 + 3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F$

Now, V₂ can be calculated by finding the initial charge (q₁):

$q_{1} = C_{1}V_{1} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F*5.00 V = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C$

Since, q₁ is equal to q₂, V₂ is:

$V_{2} = \frac{q_{2}}{C_{2}} = \frac{1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F} = 10 V$

Finally, we can find the work:

$W = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2}) = \frac{1}{2}(1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F*(10 V)^{2} - 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F(5.00 V)^{2}) = 3.21 \cdot 10^{-11} J$
