Answer:

Q = 1.2*10⁻¹² C

Explanation:

For any capacitor, by definition the capacitance C is equal to the relationship between the charge on one of the conductors and the potential difference between them, as follows:

$C = \frac{Q}{V} (1)$

For the special case of a parallel plate capacitor, just by application of Gauss' law to a rectangular surface half out of the outer surface, and half inside it, it can be showed that the value of the capacitance C is a parameter defined only by geometric constants, as follows:

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{0}*\epsilon _{r} * A}{d} (2)$

So, due to the left sides in (1) and (2) are equal each other, right sides must be equal too.
Replacing ε₀, εr (dielectric constant), A, d and V by their values, we can solve for Q, as follows:

$Q =\frac{\epsilon_{0} * \epsilon_{r} *A* V}{d} = \frac{(8.85*(4.7)^{2}*79.5)e-24 (F/m*m2*V)}{1.3e-8m} = 1.2e-12 C = 1.2 pC (3)$

What is the difference between a counting loop and an infinite loop?

OlgaM077 [116]

REPETITION CYCLES. A repeating structure allows you to execute an instruction or a set of instructions multiple times. A repetitive execution of sentences is characterized by: The sentence or sentences that are repeated. The cycle is one of the most important basic programming structures, as it is present in dissimilar problems. In structured programming there are three types of basic cycles: determined, indeterminate avoidable, and indeterminate unavoidable; On the other hand, visual programming brings with it a revolutionary change in this structure, since the user who controls when the cycle ends is himself, activating an event that signifies the breaking of the cycle.

What are the disadvantages of wind power?

jek_recluse [69]

<span>Wind power is produced from the wind turbines or sails that uses air flow to convert it into mechanical power. It is an alternative to fossil fuel burning, it is all around, renewable, clean, produces no greenhouse gases and uses little land. The advantages of wind power have been greatly praised by many. However, it has disadvantages. Wind power especially at farm is noisy and may spoil the view for their neighboring people. Also the amount of electricity depends on the strength of the wind. If no wind is around, no electricity is produced. </span>
