Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
- Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
- separation distance of capacitor 2,
- separation distance of capacitor 1,
- quantity of charge on capacitor 2,
- quantity of charge on capacitor 1,
We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.
Mathematically given as:
.....................................(1)
where:
k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air
From eq. (1)
For capacitor 2:
For capacitor 1:
We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:
..........................................(2)
where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.
for capacitor 2:
& for capacitor 1:
Given parameters:
Mass of the car = 1000kg
Unknown:
Height = ?
To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.
Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.
It is mathematically expressed as:
P.E = mgh
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height of the car
Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.
h =
<u>For 2.0 x 10³ J;</u>
h = = 0.204m
<u>For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;</u>
h = = 20.4m
<u>For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J; </u>
h = = 0.102m
