The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 8.00 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.70 mm, are charged by a 8.70

V battery. They are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a separation of 6.80 mm. Neglecting fringing, find (a) the potential difference between the plates, (b) the initial stored energy, (c) the final stored energy, and (d) the work required to separate the plates.

Answer:

a)  ΔV₁ = 21.9 V, b) U₀ = 99.2 10⁻¹² J, c) U_f = 249.9 10⁻¹² J,  d)  W = 150 10⁻¹² J

Explanation:

Let's find the capacitance of the capacitor

         C = \epsilon_o \frac{A}{d}

         C = 8.85 10⁻¹² (8.00 10⁻⁴) /2.70 10⁻³

         C = 2.62 10⁻¹² F

for the initial data let's look for the accumulated charge on the plates

          C = \frac{Q}{\Delta V}

          Q₀ = C ΔV

           Q₀ = 2.62 10⁻¹² 8.70

           Q₀ = 22.8 10⁻¹² C

a) we look for the capacity for the new distance

          C₁ = 8.85 10⁻¹² (8.00 10⁻⁴) /6⁴.80 10⁻³

          C₁ = 1.04 10⁻¹² F

       

          C₁ = Q₀ / ΔV₁

          ΔV₁ = Q₀ / C₁

          ΔV₁ = 22.8 10⁻¹² /1.04 10⁻¹²

          ΔV₁ = 21.9 V

b) initial stored energy

          U₀ = \frac{Q_o}{ 2C}

          U₀ = (22.8 10⁻¹²)²/(2  2.62 10⁻¹²)

          U₀ = 99.2 10⁻¹² J

c) final stored energy

          U_f = (22.8 10⁻¹²) ² /(2  1.04 10⁻⁻¹²)

          U_f = 249.9 10⁻¹² J

d) the work of separating the plates

as energy is conserved work must be equal to energy change

          W = U_f - U₀

          W = (249.2 - 99.2) 10⁻¹²

          W = 150 10⁻¹² J

note that as the energy increases the work must be supplied to the system

the electron are accelrated to a speed of 2.40*10^7 in 1.8*10^-9, the force experinced by an electron ?
dalvyx [7]
Force = mass × acceleration

To find acceleration, we can divide the speed by the time it took:

acceleration = 2.40×10^7 / 1.8×10^-9

acceleration = 1.33×10^16

the mass is equal to the mass of an electron

force = (9.11×10^-31)(1.33×10^16)

force = 1.21×10^-14 N

What happens to the iron in the coilgun if the electricity in the coil was turned on
Andrews [41]

  • <em><u>The piece of iron has become a magnet. Some substances can be magnetized by an electric current. When electricity runs through a coil of wire, it produces a magnetic field. The field around the coil will disappear, however, as soon as the electric current is turned off.</u></em>
