If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly 3 ✕ 106 N/C, the air breaks down and a spark forms. For a two-disk

capacitor of radius 50 cm with a gap of 2 mm, what is the maximum charge (plus and minus) that can be placed on the disks without a spark forming (which would permit charge to flow from one disk to the other)? The constant ε0 = 8.85 ✕ 10-12 C2/(N·m2).

Answer:

1.843 x 10^-5 C  

Explanation:

<u><em>Givens:   </em></u>

It is given that the air starts ionizing when the electric field in the air exceeds a magnitude of 3 x 10^6 N/C, which means that the max electric field can stand without forming a spark is 3 x 10^6 N/C.  

Also it is given that the radius of the disk is 50 cm, it is required to find out the max amount of charge that the disk can hold without forming spark, which means the charge that would produce the max magnitude of the electric field that air can stand without forming spark, and since we know that the electric field in between 2 disk "Capacitor" is given by the following equation  

E = (Q/A)/∈o                                (1)

Where,

Q: total charge on the disk.

A: the area of the disk.  

<u><em>Calculations:  </em></u>

We want to find the quantity of charge on the disk that would produce an electric field of 3 x 10^6 N/C, knowing the radius of the disk we can find the cross-section of the disk, thus substituting in equation (1) we find the maximum quantity of charge the disk can hold  

Q = EA∈o

   = (3 x 10^6) x (π*0.50) x (8.85 x 10^-12)  

  = 1.843 x 10^-5 C  

note:

calculations maybe wrong but method is correct

What is the internal energy of 3.00mol of N2 gas at 25c?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

18600j

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of moles = 3

Temperature, T = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 K

The internal energy of N₂ gas is given by :

U=f\times nRTU=f×nRT

f is degrees of freedom. For diatomic gas, degree of freedom is equal to 5/2. So,

\begin{gathered}U=\dfrac{5}{2}\times 3\times 8.31\times 298\\\\U=18572.85\ J\end{gathered}

U=

2

5×3×8.31×298

U=18572.85 J

or

U = 18600 J

So, the internal energy of the gas is 18,600 J

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

b. a massive collapsed star

Explanation:

A black hole in the universe is nothing but a massive collapsed star. When the size of the star crosses a particular limit it cannot holds its mass and it collapses under it own self. This is called supernova. A black hole is actually a region in space where gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape through it. Gravity so strong because the matter has been pressed into a tiny space. hence option b is correct
