Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area, but the plate gap in capacitor 1 is twice as big as capacitor 2. If capa

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Explanation:

$\texttt{Capacitance, C}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A}{d}$

Where A is the area, d is the gap between plates and ε₀ is the dielectric constant.

Let C₁ be the capacitance of first capacitor with area A₁ and gap between plates d₁.

We have

$\texttt{Capacitance, C}_1=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=C$

Similarly for capacitor 2

$\texttt{Capacitance, C}_2=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_2}{d_2}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{\frac{d_1}{2}}=2\times \frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=2C$

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

What is the electric field strength inside the capacitor after insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each

Bezzdna [24]

This question apparently comes after an EARLIER one,
where you were told either the voltage across the same
capacitor or the total charge stored in it. You can't answer
THIS one without that information.

Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

$\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }$

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount $\Delta x$ ), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

$E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2$

$E_i=E_f\\$

$\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }$
