Converted to Energy Electricity powers the lights for a building.

Physics
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

More than enough solar energy (8.2 million quad BTUs, 1 quad = 2.9 x1011 kWh) hits Earth's surface each year to meet all of societies' needs. Currently we use about 400 quads per year to run our society. Good building design allows passive use of sunlight to heat homes. Simple solar collectors are used to heat water and cook food. As useful as it is for these purposes, thermal energy from sunlight is still a low quality energy compared to electricity. Computers, most machinery, light bulbs, subway trains, and much more all require electricity. It is possible to turn thermal energy from the sun into electricity. In this unit we will examine how.

. We will also examine how to make electricity directly from light using the photovoltaic cells.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1mm. To obtain an electric field of 2.0 × 10^6
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

3.536*10^-6 C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the charge is expresses as Q = CV

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the voltage across the capacitor

Get the capacitance

C = ε0A/d

ε0 is the permittivity of the dielectric = 8.84 x 10-12 F/m

A is the area = 0.2m²

d is the plate separation = 0.1mm = 0.0001m

Substitute

C = 8.84 x 10-12 * 0.2/0.0001

C = 1.768 x 10-8 F

Get the potential difference V

Using the formula for Electric field intensity

E = V/d

2.0 × 10^6  = V/0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^6  * 0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^2V

Get the charge on each plate.

Q = CV

Q =  1.768 x 10-8 * 2.0 × 10^2

Q = 3.536*10^-6 C

Hence the magnitude of the charge on each plate should be 3.536*10^-6 C

The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 7.90 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.70 mm, are charged by a 7.90
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A) 26V

Explanation:

(a) the potential difference between the plates

Initial capacitance can be calculated using below expresion

C1= A ε0/ d1

Where d1= distance between = 2.70 mm= 2.70× 10^-3 m

ε0= permittivity of space= 8.85× 10^-12 Fm^-1

A= area of the plate = 7.90 cm2 = 7.90 ×10^-4 m^2

If we substitute the values we

C1= A ε0/ d1

=( 7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/2.70× 10^-3

C1=2.589 ×10^-12 F= 2.59 pF

Initial charge can be determined using below expresion

q1= C1 × V1

V1=2.589 ×10^-12 F

V1= voltage=7.90 V

If we substitute we have

q1= 2.589 ×10^-12 × 7.90

q1= 20.45×10^-12C

20.45 pC

Final capacitance can be calculated as

C2= A ε0/ d2

d2=8.80 mm= /8.80× 10^-3

7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/8.80× 10^-3

C1=0.794 ×10^-12 F= 0.794 pF

Final charge= initial charge

q2=q1 (since the battery is disconnected)

q2=q1= 20.45 pC

Final potential difference

V2= q/C2

= 20.45/0.794

= 26V
