Of the charge Q initially on a tiny sphere, a portion q is to be transferred to a second, nearby sphere. Both spheres can be tre

ated as particles and are fixed with a certain separation. (a) For what value of q/Q will the electrostatic force between the two spheres be maximized? What are the (b) smaller and (c) larger values of q/Q that give a force magnitude that is 75% of that maximum?

Answer:

2. Smaller value of q = 1/4Q

3. Larger value of q = 3/4Q

Explanation:

1. Please check the attachment for the solution of part 1. Due to time factor I couldn't type out the solution properly.

2. The smaller value is

F = 75% = 75/100

= 3/4 * Q²/16piEod² ---3

When we equate 1 and 3

We get 3Q²/16 = Qq - q² from here we cross multiply to get

3Q² = 16(Qq-q²)

3Q² = 16Qq-16q²

16q² - 16Qq + 3Q² = 0

When solve this out using the quadratic equation formula, we have:

Q/2 +- 2Q/8

We can get the smaller value of q as

Q/2-2Q/8

Solve using LCM we get

2Q/8 = 1/4Q = Q/4

C. The larger value of q

Q/2+2Q/8

= 6Q/8

= 3Q/4

Please use the attachment it will guide you to understand this better.

Which term describes the object that a satellite revolves around?

m_a_m_a [10]

The object that a satellite revolves around is the <em>central body</em> of the system. <em>(C)</em>

For example:

-- The central body of the solar system is the Sun.

-- The central body for TV satellites, GPS satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is the Earth.

-- The central body for Phobos and Deimos is Mars.

This should be a pretty easy question to answer by elimination, when you notice that "Orbit", "Period", and "Rotation" are not "Bodies".

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.60 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80 mm . If the separ

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Part a)

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of capacitor when it is not connected to potential source is given as

$U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

As we know that initial energy is given as

$8.60 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

now we know that capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given as

$C = \frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}$

now the new capacitance when distance is changed from 3.80 mm to 1.45 mm

$C' = \frac{Cd}{d'}$

$C' = \frac{C(3.80)}{1.45}$

$C' = 2.62 C$

Now the new energy of the capacitor is given as

$E = \frac{Q^2}{2(2.62C)}$

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

Now if the voltage difference between the plates of capacitor is given constant

now the energy energy of capacitor is

$U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

$8.60 = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

now when capacitance is changed to new value then new energy is given as

$E = \frac{1}{2}C'V^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2}(2.62C)V^2$

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$
