How does the energy in a system of magnets change when two magnets repel and move away from each other

1 answer:

5 0

When the magnetic force between opposite poles pulls them together the potential energy of the system decreases. Because like poles repel each other, to push them together you have to transfer energy to the system.

An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 1.50 mm. A 25

torisob [31]

Answer:

The electric field is 16666.66 V/m.

The surface charge density is $1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

The capacitance is $4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

The charge on each plate is $112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Area =7.70 cm²

Distance = 1.50 mm

Potential difference = 25.0 V

Suppose we find the electric field between the plates, the surface charge density, the capacitance and the charge on each plates.

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{25.0}{1.50\times10^{-3}}$

$E=16666.66\ V/m$

We need to calculate the charge density

Using formula of charge density

$\sigma=E\times\epsilon_{0}$

Put the value into the formula

$\sigma=16666.66\times8.85\times10^{-12}$

$\sigma=1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

We need to calculate the capacitance

Using formula of capacitance

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_{0}A}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$C=\dfrac{8.85\times10^{-12}\times7.60\times10^{-4}}{1.50\times10^{-3}}$

$C=4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of charge

$q=CV$

Put the value into the formula

$q=4.484\times10^{-12}\times25.0$

$q=112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

Hence, The electric field is 16666.66 V/m.

The surface charge density is $1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

The capacitance is $4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

The charge on each plate is $112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

True or False Criminals structure crime. For instance, crack cocaine street dealers prefer the middle of a long block as the bes

LenaWriter [7]

True. Though typically crack deals take place in a car, or in an alley. The middle of a long block is kind of exposed. It could happen anywhere in Chicago though.
But yeah, criminals structure crime.

Four distinguishable particles move freely in a room divided into octants (there are no actual partitions). Let the basic states

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916

The horizontal surface on which the block (mass 2.0 kg) slides is frictionless. The speed of the block before it touches the spr

ch4aika [34]

Answer:3.67 m/s

Explanation:

mass of block(m)=2 kg

Velocity of block=6 m/s

spring constant(k)=2 KN/m

Spring compression x=15 cm

Conserving Energy

energy lost by block =Gain in potential energy in spring

$\frac{m(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$2\left [ 6^2-v_2^2\right ]=2\times 10^3\times \left [ 0.15\right ]^2$

$v_2=3.67 m/s$

determine the maximum angle theta for which the light rays incident on the end of the optical fiber of radius 1 mm are subhect t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the critical angle be C .

sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .

sinC = 1 /1.2

= .833

C = 56°

Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )

sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence

sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67

i = 42°.
