To have a uniform field. The field is the voltage between the plates divided by the distance between the plates. If the distance varies so would the field between them.

Answer:

to form a uniform electric field between the plates

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitor is a device which is used to store the electrostatic potential energy between the plates.

So here our aim is to design such a capacitor system which will store energy between two plates and that energy will be uniform if the two plates are parallel to each other

If the two plates are not parallel to each other then in that case the field between the plates becomes non uniform and that will form make the charge distribution non uniform.

So here correct answer will be

<em>to form a uniform electric field between the plates </em>

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s

Explanation:

We know that charge on electron

q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

r= 2 nm

We know that force between two charge given

F=K\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}

Now by putting the value

F=9\times10^9\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(2\times 10^{-9})^2}

F=5.67\times 10^{-11}\ N

We know that mass of electron

The mass of electron

m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

F= m a

a= Acceleration of electron

a= F/m

a=\dfrac{5.67\times 10^{-11}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}\ m/s^2

a=6.2\times 10^{19} m/s^2

S=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

initial velocity given that zero ,u=0

20\times 10^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.2\times 10^{19} t^2

t=\sqrt {\dfrac{40\times 10^{-9}}{6.2\times 10^{19}}}

t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s

Pls help<br> What graph indicates no reference to direction of motion, and explain why.
Komok [63]

Answer:

graph A

Explanation:

the slope of the distance-time graph is speed, speed is a scalar (with magnitudes but no direction)

but the slope for the velocity time graph is acceleration, acceleration is vector quantity ( has magnitude and direction)
