A capacitor has a voltage of applied across its plates, and then the voltage source is removed. What is the potential difference

across its plates if the space between them is then filled with mica, having a dielectric constant of 5?

Answer:

V₁/5

Explanation:

The charge stored in the capacitor of capacitance, C and voltage V is Q = C₁V₁. If the voltage is removed and mica with dielectric constant k = 5 is inserted, the charge stored Q = C₂V₂. Since the charge stored is the same,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ ⇒ V₂ = C₁V₁/C₂. Now C₂ = kC₁ ⇒ C₁/C₂ = 1/k = 1/5

So, V₂ = C₁V₁/C₂ = V₁/5

A very long uniform line of charge has charge per unit length λ1 = 4.68 μC/m and lies along the x-axis. A second long uniform li
Kitty [74]

Answer:

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

As we know that electric field due to infinite line charge distribution at some distance from it is given as

E = \frac{2k \lambda}{r}

now we need to find the electric field at mid point of two wires

So here we need to add the field due to two wires as they are oppositely charged

Now we will have

E_{net} = \frac{2k\lambda_1}{r} + \frac{2k\lambda_2}{r}

now plug in all data

\lambda_1 = 4.68 \muC/m

\lambda_2 = 2.48 \mu C/m

r = 0.200 m

now we have

E_{net} = \frac{2k}{r}(4.68 + 2.48)

E_{net} = \frac{2(9\times 10^9)}{0.200}(7.16 \times 10^{-6})

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

gamma rays , X rays,  ultraviolet , visible light , infrared,  radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the set of electromagnetic radiations distributed in their different frequencies or wavelengths, which in turn are related to their energy.   If we go from the smallest wavelengths known up to now (because according to physics the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous) to the longest, the electromagnetic spectrum covers the following radiations:  

Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light (all the colors we are able to see), infrared, radio waves and microwaves.  

Let's make a brief of them:

-Gamma rays: With a wavelength in the order of 10^{-12}m, is a type of ionizing radiation capable of penetrating matter quite deeply and is able to cause serious damage to the nucleus of the cells. Inaddiito, these rays are used to sterilize medical equipment and food.

-X rays: With a wavelength between 1m and 10km. It is invisible to the human eye, capable of crossing opaque bodies and of being an ionizing radiation.

-Ultraviolet light: Whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

-Visible light: This part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light (380 nm - 780 nm).  It should be noted, the fact the only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

-Infrared: This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye, since its wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum (between 700 nm and 1 mm).  

These waves can be divided into:  

<u>- Near infrared</u> or long wave infrared: it is the least sensitive to color and is easily absorbed by water.  

<u>- Medium or medium wave infrared:</u> it is also insensitive to color and easily absorbed by water and many types of plastics and paints.  

-<u> Far infrared or short wave infrared: </u>it is more penetrating than the long wave and is good for heating metals, these waves also can pass through clear materials.  

This light has many uses, including heating lamps in physiotherapy and medical treatments, heat sensing devices, among others.

-Radio waves: These are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 10 m to 10,000 m. This type of electromagnetic waves is very well reflected in the ionosphere, the layer of the atmosphere through which they travel directly or using repeaters.  In addition, they are very useful to transport information, being important in telecommunications. They are used not only for conventional radio transmissions but also in mobile telephony and TV.

A bicycle is traveling north at 5.0 m/s. The mass of the wheel, 2.0 kg, is uniformly distributed along the rim, which has a radi
andreev551 [17]

Answer:2

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of bicycle is 5 m/s towards north

radius of rim r=20 cm

mass of rim m=2 kg

Angular momentum \vec{L}=I\cdot \vec{\omega }

I=mr^2=2\times 0.2^2=0.08 kg-m^2

\omega =\frac{v}{r}=\frac{5}{0.2}=25 rad/s

L=0.08\times 25=2kg-m^2/s  

direction of Angular momentum will be towards west
