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>

Answer: star on far side of Andromeda Galaxy- star on near side of Andromeda Galaxy- star on far side of Milky Way Galaxy- star near center of Milky Way Galaxy- Orion Nebula- Alpha Centauri- Pluto-The Sun

Explanation:

Andromeda is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky way galaxy. The star on the far side of the Andromeda galaxy would be farthest from Earth. Then, the star at the near side of the Andromeda galaxy.

The Earth along with the Sun and other planets are located in the Orion arm of the Milky way. It is about 8 kpc from the center of the Milky way. Thus, the next farthest astronomical object would be the star on the far side of the milky way and then a star near the center of the Milky way galaxy.

Orion Nebula is 1344 ly away from Earth. Alpha centauri is 4.36 ly away from earth. Pluto is about 28 AU away from Earth and Sun is 1 AU distance away.

Energy can be changed from one form to another. Which terms can be used to describe these changes? Select all that apply.

aliya0001 [1]

Energy is the capacity to do work. Energy exists in various forms in the entire universe.

It may be light,sound,electric,magnetic,kinetic,potential,thermal energy etc.

As per the law of conservation of energy, it is neither created not destroyed. It can change from one form to another form.The total energy of the universe is always constant.

The process in which energy will change from one form to another form is called energy conversion.

There is also another terminology for energy conversion called energy transformation.

Energy transference is the process in which energy will be transferred from one body to another body.

Hence the correct answer to this question will be conversion and transformation

earnstyle [38]

The geographical region where I would expect the warmest weather is: C. in the southeast.

<h3>What is a weather map?</h3>

A weather map can be defined as a type of chart that is typically used to provide information about the average atmospheric condition of a particular geographical region over a specific period of time.

Based on the weather map shown in the image attached below, we can infer and logically deduce that the geographical region where the warmest weather is expected is in the southeast due to its very high atmospheric pressure.
