A parallel plate capacitor is created by placing two large square conducting plates of length and width 0.1m facing each other,

separated by a 1 cm gap with vaccum between the plates. We connect the capacitor to power supply, charge it to a potential difference VO 5 kV, and disconnect the power supply. We then insert a sheet of insulating plastic material between the plates, completely filling the space between them. We find that the potential difference decreases to 1 kV while the charge on each capacitor plate remains constant. Find the original capacitance CO. 885pf 17.7pf 8.85pf 1.77pf

Answer:

8.854 pF

Explanation:

side of plate = 0.1 m ,

d = 1 cm = 0.01 m,

V = 5 kV = 5000 V

V' = 1 kV = 1000 V

Let K be the dielectric constant.

So, V' = V / K

K = V / V' = 5000 / 1000 = 5

C = ε0 A / d = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 0.1 x 0.1 / 0.01 = 8.854 x 10^-12 F

C = 8.854 pF

On Mars gravity is one-third that on Earth. What would be the mass on Mars of a person who has a mass of 90 kilograms (kg) on Ea
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person will still have a mass of 90kg on Mars

Explanation: The Truth is, the mass of a body remains constant from place to place. It is the weight which is equal to {mass of body * acceleration due to gravity{g}} that varies from place to place since it is dependent on {g}.

In this case the person will have a Weight of 90*9.8 = 882N on Earth.

{ "g" on Earth is 9.8m/s²}

And a Weight of 90*3.3 = 297N on Mars.

{ From the question "g" on Mars is {9.8m/s²}/3 which is 3.3m/s²}

From this analysis you notice that the WEIGHT of the person Varies but the MASS remained Constant at 90kg.

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The charge resides on the outer surface = 1.245 \times 10^{-12} C

Explanation:

Surface area of cell  (A) = 4.3\times 10^{-9}  m^{2}

Separation between two plate  (d) = 1.1 \times 10^{-8}  m  

Dielectric constant (k) = 4.2

Potential difference (\Delta V) = 85.7 \times 10^{-3} V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor in free space is given by,

           C = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A }{d}

Where \epsilon_{o}  = permittivity of free space = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

The Capacitance of capacitor is increase by k times when it placed in dielectric medium.

C_{dielectric}  = \frac{k \epsilon_{o} A }{d}

And we know that, C = \frac{Q}{ \Delta V}

So charge on the outer surface is given by,

      Q = \frac{k \epsilon A \Delta V }{d}

      Q = \frac{4.2 \times 4.3 \times 10^{-9} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 85.7\times 10^{-3}   }{1.1 \times 10^{-8} }

      Q = 1.245 \times 10^{-12}

Which of the following is NOT accelerating?
ivolga24 [154]
I would say the answer to your question is A Ferris wheel turning at a constant speed. The reasoning behind this answer is the fact that traveling in a constant direction at a constant speed is not accelerating. The Ferris wheel is the only option that fits this description. The last option would be incorrect due to independent causes such as speed limit changes as well as turns and stops on the highway.

A wire is joined to points X and Y in the circuit diagram shown. A diagram of a circuit with a power source on the left. Directl
Sidana [21]

The circuit change when the wire is added will see a short circuit occur and makes bulbs 1 and 2 turn off but keeps bulbs 3 and 4 lit. Option D. This is further explained below.

<h3>How does the circuit change when the wire is added?</h3>

Generally, Electronic circuits consist of a series of interconnected parts that form a closed loop through which electricity may flow.

In conclusion, If two wires are linked together, a short circuit will develop, cutting power to bulbs 1 and 2. But there is no impact on bulbs 3 and 4. There is no problem with bulbs 3 and 4.
