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 beaker is filled to the 500 ml mark with alcohol. What increase in volume (in ml) the beaker contain when the temperature chan
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1.4 mL

Explanation:

Given that:

volume of alcohol V_0 = 500

Temperature change ΔT = (30° - 5°)C

=25° C

\beta_{ alcohol }= 1.12 \times 10^{-4} / ^0C

The increase in volume ΔV =  \alpha  \times  V_o \times \Delta T

= 500 \times 1.12 \times 10^{-4} / ^0 C\times   25^0 C

= 1.4 mL

The change in specific internal energy depends on the path of a process. a)-True b)-False
Basile [38]

Answer:

(b) False

Explanation:

The specific internal energy of the system does not depend on the path of the process, it is a state function means its depend on only on the initial and the final position it does not depend on the path which it follow in the process.Internal energy is associated with the random motion of the molecules.

So it is false statement as internal energy is not a path function

Write 3 classes with three levels of hierarchy: Base, Derive (child of base), and D1 (child of Derive class). Within each class,
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

class Base

{

void m1()

{

System.out.println("Origin: Base Class");

}

}

class Derive extends Base

{

void m1()

{

System.out.println("Origin: Derived Class");

}

}

class D1 extends Derive

{

void m1()

{

System.out.println("Origin: D1 - Child of Derive Class");

}

}

class TestDynamicBinding

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

Base base = new Base(); // object of Base class

Derive derive = new Derive(); // object of Derive class

D1 d1 = new D1(); // object of D1 class

 

Base reference; // Reference of type Base

reference = base; // reference referring to the object of Base class

reference.m1();   //call made to Base Class m1 method

 

reference = derive;   // reference referring to the object of Derive class

reference.m1(); //call made to Derive Class m1 method

 

reference = d1;    // reference referring to the object of D1 class

reference.m1(); //call made to D1 Class m1 method

}

}

Explanation:

The solution demonstrates dynamic binding behavior because the linking procedure used calls overwritten method m1() is made at run time rather than doing it at the compile time. The code to be executed for this specific procedural call is also known at run time only.
