Answer:
The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is half its initial value.
Explanation:
We know the electric field E = V/d where V = voltage applied and d = separation between plates.
Since V is constant and V = Ed,
So, E₁d₁ = E₂d₂ where E₁ = initial electric field at separation d₁, d₁ = initial separation of plates, E₂ = final electric field at separation d₂ and d₂ = final separation of plates.
So, E₂ = E₁d₁/d₂
Now, the distance between the plates is twice their original separation. Thus, d₂ = 2d₁
So, E₂ = E₁d₁/2d₁ = E₁/2
So, E₂ = E₁/2
Thus, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates is half its initial value.
We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
Answer: 1 The correct answer is that CMB radiation was spread uniformly throughout the whole universe.This was related to big band theory because this theory predicts that the universe was a very hot place and as it cooled down it should have been filled with laterally the remnant heat over from the Big Bang called as cosmic microwave background.
Answer: 2 CMB radiation was discovered accidentally when Penzias and Wilson were performing some experiment and they noticed a ' hum' noise that was constantly detected by the antenna even after removing all the disturbing sources.
Then it was realized that it is cosmic microwave background radiation.
