Answer:
CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:
C = ε₀A/d
where,
C = Capacitance
ε₀ = Permeability of free space
A = Area of plates
d = Distance between plates
FOR CAPACITOR A:
C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F
A = A₁
d = d₁
Therefore,
CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F ----------------- equation 1
FOR CAPACITOR B:
C = CB = ?
A = A₁/2
d = 2 d₁
Therefore,
CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁
CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)
using equation 1:
CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)
<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>

A mechanical wave<span> is a </span>wave<span> that is an oscillation of </span>matter<span>, and therefore transfers energy through a </span>medium.[1]<span> While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the </span>medium of transmission<span>—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.</span>
