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

Which has more heat, a home oven at 500 degrees Celsius, or a one ton commercial oven at 500 degrees celsius?
alisha [4.7K]
A commercial oven because it is more durable plus it’s more professional so they use more heat then we do at home

The object is called a meteor because it is producing Streak of light  and has not yet struck earth.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A meteoroid is a celestial object which is very smaller than an asteroid. These objects are produced as a collision impact from mars or moon and float freely in space without any specific orbit. When they come inside the Earth's gravitational field, they are attracted by the Earth's gravity to Earth's crust. These objects in Earth's atmosphere are called meteors. As they travel through Earth's atmosphere, they do face a huge friction from Earth's atmosphere which let them burn and that is visible as the tail of the meteor.

Most of them are so small that they are burnt away in the atmosphere. But some are bigger and they reach the Earth's surface and are called as meteorites.
