The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 7.10 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.20 mm, are charged by a 4.80

V battery. They are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a separation of 6.50 mm. Neglecting fringing, find (a) the potential difference between the plates, (b) the initial stored energy, (c) the final stored energy, and (d) the work required to separate the plates.

Answer:

a)14.17V

b)32.8 x 10^-^1^2J

c)96.9x 10^-^1^2J

d) -64x 10^-^1^2J

Explanation:

Given:

Area 'A'=7.10cm² =>7.1 x 10^-^4m²

voltage 'V_o'=4.8 volt

d_o = 2.20mm => 2.2 x 10^-^3m

d_1 = 6.50mm => 6.5 x 10^-^3m

a) Capacitance C_o before push is given by:

C_o = εA/d_o =>\frac{(8.85*10^-^1^2)(7.1*10^-^4)}{2.2*10^-^3}

C_o =   2.85 x 10^-^1^2 F

q_o=C_oV_o=> 2.85 x 10^-^1^2 x 4.8

q_o=1.37 x 10^-^1^1 C

Capacitance C_1 after push is given by:

C_1 = εA/d_1 =>\frac{(8.85*10^-^1^2)(7.1*10^-^4)}{6.5*10^-^3}

C_1 =   9.66 x 10^-^1^3F

q_o=q_1

q_1=C_1V_1

Therefore, the potential difference between the plates

V_1 = 1.37 x 10^-^1^1 / 9.66 x 10^-^1^3 =>14.17V

b) U_i=\frac{1}{2}C_oV_o^2 => \frac{1}{2} (2.85*10^-^1^2)(4.8^2)

U_i= 32.8 x 10^-^1^2J

c)U_f=\frac{1}{2}C_1V_1^2 => \frac{1}{2} (9.66*10^-^1^3)(14.17^2)

U_f= 96.9x 10^-^1^2J

d) the work required to separate the plates is given by:

workdone=  U_i-U_f=> 32.8 x 10^-^1^2J- 96.9x 10^-^1^2J

W≈ -64x 10^-^1^2J

What is the purpose of experimentation in a research study
Nat2105 [25]
Hello,

The answer is to "prove your hypothesis".

Reason:

Researchers do experiments to prove there hypothesis they will most likely do the experiment a few times in older to have the conclusion valid therefore proving his or her experiment. 

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

How do fission nuclear reactions differ from fusion nuclear reactions?
Serhud [2]
The path of the raction occurs on the basis of mass of the nuclei involved in reaction.
In case of nuclear fusion, two or more nuclei having less mass fuse(combine, join) together to form a new nuclei(heavier mass but it is relatively stable). During fusion, matter is not conserved because some of the matter is converted into energy(light). This reaction evolves a huge amount of energy and there comes Einstein's famous Energy-mass equivalence formula E=mc^2! :D. The nuclear reaction occuring in stars(including our sun ) is "fusion".

Fission occurs with heavier nuclei such as that of Uranium-235. Which splits into smaller subatomic particles like gamma, neutrons and enormous amount of energy.
Both, Fission and Fusion releases enormous amount of energy and modern nuclear weapons works on the principle of nuclear fission.

Determine the smallest thickness of the film for which reflected green light of wavelength 540 nm interfere destructively. Expre
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of green light \lambda =540\ nm

For destructive interference by reflection the path difference is an integral multiple of wavelength so

t=\frac{\lambda '}{2}

where \lambda '=\frac{\lambda }{n}

n=refractive index of medium

suppose water is the medium

so

n=\frac{4}{3}

t=\frac{540\times 3}{4\times 2}

t=202.5\ nm

Any force that causes an object to move in a circle is called a(n)
Vaselesa [24]
A). balanced force
b). unbalanced force
There's no such thing as either of these.  A group of two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced.  A single force can't be.

c). gravitational force ... doesn't cause an object to move in a circle;
     Drop a stone from the roof of a tall building and watch it fall.
     It goes straight down, not in a circle.

d). centripetal force ... force directed toward the center of a circle,
     causes an object to move in a circle.
