A dielectric material, such as Teflon®, is placed between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor without altering the structure of the capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is held fixed. How is the electric field between the plates of the capacitor affected? The electric field becomes infinite because of the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field becomes zero after the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field decreases because of the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field increases because of the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field is not altered, because the structure remains unchanged. SubmitRequest Answer Provide Feedback Next

Answer: The electric field decreases because of the insertion of the Teflon.

Explanation:

If the charge on the capacitor is held fixed, the electric field as a consequence of this charge distribution (directed from the positive charged plate to the negative charged one remains unchanged.

However, as the Teflon is a dielectric material, even though doesn't allow the free movement of the electrons as an answer to an applied electric field, it allows that the electrons be displaced from the equilibrium position, leaving a local negative-charged zone close to the posiitive plate of the capacitor, and an equal but opposite charged layer close to the negative plate.

In this way, a internal electric field is created, that opposes to the external one due to the capacitor, which overall effect is diminishing the total electric field, reducing the voltage between the plates, and  increasing the capacitance proportionally to the dielectric constant of the Teflon.

A hemispherical shell with an external diameter of 500 mm and a thickness of 20 mm is going to be made by casting, located entir
Olenka [21]

Solution :

Given :

External diameter of the hemispherical shell, D = 500 mm

Thickness, t = 20 mm

Internal diameter, d = D - 2t

                                 = 500 - 2(20)

                                 = 460 mm

So, internal radius, r = 230 mm

                                 = 0.23 m

Density of molten metal, ρ = $7.2 \ g/cm^3$

                                                  = $7200 \ kg/m^3$

The height of pouring cavity above parting surface is h = 300 mm

                                                                                                  = 0.3 m

So, the metallostatic thrust on the upper mold at the end of casting is :

$F=\rho g A h$

Area, A $=2 \pi r^2$

            $=2 \pi (0.23)^2$

            $=0.3324 \ m^2$

$F=\rho g A h$

   $=7200 \times 9.81 \times 0.3324 \times 0.3$

     = 7043.42 N

You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The ti
Archy [21]

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically \overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}

The momentum of any body is defines as \overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds
