Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Example of ionic bonding takes place between magnesium(mg) and oxygen(02) to form magnesium oxide (mg0).... Magnesium loses two electrons to form Mg2+, and oxygen gains two electrons to form 02-

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.00 nC when connected to a potential difference of 230 V. If its plates are separate

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Part(a): the capacitance is 0.013 nF.

Part(b): the radius of the inner sphere is 3.1 cm.

Part(c): the electric field just outside the surface of inner sphere is $\bf{2.81 \times 10^{4}~n~C^{-1}}$ .

Explanation:

We know that if 'a' and 'b' are the inner and outer radii of the shell respectively, 'Q' is the total charge contains by the capacitor subjected to a potential difference of 'V' and ' $\epsilon_{0}$ ' be the permittivity of free space, then the capacitance (C) of the spherical shell can be written as

$C = \dfrac{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}{(\dfrac{1}{a} - \dfrac{1}{b})}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)$

Part(a):

Given, charge contained by the capacitor Q = 3.00 nC and potential to which it is subjected to is V = 230V.

So the capacitance (C) of the shell is

$C &=& \dfrac{Q}{V} = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{-90}~C}{230~V} = 1.3 \times 10^{-11}~F = 0.013~nF$

Part(b):

Given the inner radius of the outer shell b = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m. Therefore, from equation (1), rearranging the terms,

$&& \dfrac{1}{a} = \dfrac{1}{b} + \dfrac{1}{C/4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} = \dfrac{1}{0.043} + \dfrac{1}{1.3 \times 10^{-11} \times 9 \times 10^{9}} = 31.79\\&or,& a = \dfrac{1}{31.79}~m = 0.031~m = 3.1~cm$

Part(c):

If we apply Gauss' law of electrostatics, then

$&& E~4 \pi a^{2} = \dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_{0}}\\&or,& E = \dfrac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}a^{2}}\\&or,& E = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{-9} \times 9 \times 10^{9}}{0.031^{2}}~N~C^{-1}\\&or,& E = 2.81 \times 10^{4}~N~C^{-1}$

If the student hit a drum in his bedroom how would the sound wave behave differently than if he hit it in a swimming pool? Pleas

zlopas [31]

The sound wave would behave differently in a swimming pool than in his bedroom because sound waves travel faster in more dense mediums; such as water. The wave will travel faster in water, and slower in air.
