Suppose that we have a 1000 pF parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric charged to 1000 V. The capacitors terminals are open
circuited. Find the stored energy. If the plates are moved apart so that d is doubled, determine the new voltage on the capacitor and the new stored energy. Where did the extra energy come from?
1 answer:
Answer:
A) initial stored energy = 5x10^-4 J
B) new voltage if space is doubled will be 2000V
C) if space is doubled, stored energy becomes 2x10^-3 J
D) the extra energy comes from the work done in moving the plates further apart

Given:
- height of the window pane,
- width of the window pane,
- thickness of the pane,
- thermal conductivity of the glass pane,
- temperature of the inner surface,
- temperature of the outer surface,
<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>
here:
A = area through which the heat transfer occurs =
dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface =
dx = t = thickness normal to the surface =

- air spacing between two glass panes,
- area of each glass pane,
- thermal conductivity of air,
- temperature difference between the surfaces,
<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>
