Answer:

By the use of carbon nanotubes as the clothing material.

Explanation:

Carbon nanotubes is a technology designed by engineers that could make charging of the cell of a phone possible. It has some some required properties like it is strong, conductive and heat-resistant which are suitable for the purpose.

This technology which involves a progressive dipping of a pure cotton material into nafion polymer, then in a chemical solution of carbon nanotubes and finally in polystyrene until it becomes saturated and have a conductive property. The conductive cotton can be used to make such cloths which becomes conductive and produces some electromagnetic waves when there is a contact with sweat or fluid from the body. The waves generated can be used to charge a cell phone through radiation interaction.

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh
kkurt [141]

Answer:

t = 120.5 nm

Explanation:

given,    

refractive index of the oil = 1.4

wavelength of the red light = 675 nm

minimum thickness of film = ?

formula used for the constructive interference

2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

where n is the refractive index of oil

t is thickness of film

for minimum thickness

m = 0

2 \times 1.4 \times t = (0+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 675

t = \dfrac{0.5\times 675}{2\times 1.4}

        t = 120.5 nm

hence, the thickness of the oil is t = 120.5 nm

Two 0.2304 cm x 0.2304 cm square aluminum electrodes, spaced 0.5974 mm apart are connected to a 61 V battery. What is the charge
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC

Explanation:

for the distance between the plates d and given the area of plates, A, and ε = 8.85×10^-12 C^2/N.m^2, the capacitance of the plates is given by:

C = (A×ε)/d

   =[(0.2304×10^-2)(0.2304×10^-2)×(8.85×10^-12))/(0.5974×10^-3)

   = 7.86×10^-14 F

then if the plates are connected to a battery of voltage V = 61 V, the charge on the plates is given by:

q = C×V

   = (7.86×10^-14)×(61)

   = 4.80×10^-14 C

   ≈ 0.0048 nC

Therefore, the charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC.
