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

blagie [28]

Answer:

a-1 Graph is attached. The relation is linear.

a-2 The corresponding height for 68 kPa Pressure is 7.54 m

a-3 The corresponding weight for 68 kPa Pressure is 1394726kg

b The original height of the column is 5.98 m

Explanation:

Part a

a-1

The graph is attached with the solution. The relation is linear as indicated by the line.

a-2

By the equation

P=\rho \times g \times h

Here

  • P is the pressure which is given as 68 kPa.
  • ρ is the density of the oil whose SG is 0.92. It is calculated as

                                       \rho=S.G \times \rho_{water}\\\rho=0.92 \times 1000 kg/m^3\\\rho=920 kg/m^3\\

  • g is the gravitational constant whose value is 9.8 m/s^2
  • h is the height which is to be calculated

                                        P=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{68 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=7.54m

So the height of column is 7.54m

a-3

By the relation of volume and density

M=\rho \times V

Here

  • ρ is the density of the oil which is 920 kg/m^3
  • V is the volume of cylinder with diameter 16m calculated as follows

                             V=\pi r^2h\\V=3.14\times (8)^2 \times 7.54\\V=1515.23 m^3

Mass is given as

                             M=\rho \times V\\M=920 \times 1515.23\\M=1394726kg

So the mass of oil leading to 68kPa is 1394726kg

Part b

Pressure variation is given as

                            \Delta P=P_{obs}-P_{atm}\\\Delta P=115-101 kPa\\\Delta P=14 kPa\\

Now corrected pressure is as

P_c=P_g-\Delta P\\P_c=68-14 kPa\\P_c=54 kPa

Finding the value of height for this corrected pressure as

P_c=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P_c}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{54 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=5.98m

The original height of column is 5.98m

Over millions of years weathered rock soil dead plant and animal remains are pressed and cemented together under the ground form
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The statement being made is completely true. This layer of rock is called a Sedimentary Rock level and is slowly formed over millions of years with minerals and organic remains from the bottom of the Oceans that may no longer be covered in water anymore. Since it is made up of all these minerals and remains, it is studied widely by Geologists and Archeologists to better understand the Earth's past.

What conversion takes place in a generator?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B. An electric current into a magnetic field

Explanation:

The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current.

Which of the following describes the effect of a convex mirror on light rays?
natulia [17]
B. It reflects light rays outward.

A convex mirror looks like this ⊂.  So when light rays hit the outward curves, it bends the light rays outwards, and backwards,  and it would appear to be coming from its center called the focus.
