Answer:

0.636 kJ

Explanation:

The charge on any capacity, q = CV, thus,

The initial charge on the 70 pF capacitor is

q = Cv

q = 70*10^-12 * 3.6*10^3

q = 2.52*10^-7 C

The charge on the 280 pF capacitor is q = C*v

q = 280*10^-12 * 3.6*10^3

q = 1.008x10^-6 C

When they are connected as stated, the net total charge remaining will be 1.008*10^-6 - 2.52*10^-7 = 7.56*10^-7 C

Since the capacitors are in parallel, the equivalent capacitance will be 70 + 280 pF = 350 pF

Remember, q = CV, then V = q/C

V = 7.56*10^-7 C / 350*10^12 F

V = 2160 V

b) The energy before is 1/2 C*v²

E = 1/2 * 70*10^-12 * 3600² + 1/2 * 280*10^-12 * 3600²

E = 4.536*10^-4 J + 1.814*10^-3 J

E = 2.268 kJ

The energy After is 1/2 Cv²

E = 1/2 * 70*10^-12 * 2160² + 1/2 * 280*10^-12 * 2160²

E = 3.266*10^-4 J + 1.306*10^-3 J

E = 1.632 kJ

so the loss is 2.268 - 1.632 = 0.636 kJ

What is gibbs paradox?
mr_godi [17]
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".

Light waves do not need a medium to travel through. true or false.
melamori03 [73]

Light travels in electromagnetic waves in the form of photons. What do photons travel in? Can a frequency have weight? Carry weight? According to Einstien a photon with energy proportional to its frequency basically explains ultraviolet light(among other things), so does that mean light travels within a "larger" version of itself?

We know that light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant: independent of the movement of the source or detector or the direction in which it travels.

Light contrasts with sound, which travels through the air (or some other material medium). If you're stationary with respect to the air, then the speed of sound is the same in all directions. But if you're moving with respect to the air, the speed of sound will be the same in all directions relative to the air---which means that sound coming up in front of you will seem faster and sound catching up to you from behind will seem slower.

If light were a disturbance in a medium, it would exhibit the same behaviour. But light never does---its speed is the same under all circumstances. So it does you no good to postulate an aether. You can still do it, but it makes the theory more complicated than necessary. The only reason to postulate an aether is that you're uncomfortable with the idea of waves not needing a medium. But our modern understanding of quantum mechanics is that all kinds of particles have a wavelike nature, so, if you accept that matter can travel through empty space, you should have no problem accepting the same for light.

so it's true
