Answer:

The new potential difference between the plates is 804 V

Explanation:

Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given by the relation:

C=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{d}       ....(1)

Here A is area of each plate, D is distance between the two plates and ε₀ is vacuum permittivity constant.

The relation between charge on the plates and potential difference across the plates is:

Q = CV

Substitute the equation (1) in the above equation.

Q=\frac{\epsilon_{0} A}{d}V    .....(2)

The equation (2) represents the initial condition of the problem, when the plates are d distance apart.

According to the problem, now the distance between the plates get double but area of plates and charge on the plate remains same.

Rewrite equation (2) in terms of new potential difference V₀:

Q=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{2d} V_{0}      .....(3)

Equating equation (2) and (3).

\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{d} V=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{2d} V_{0}

V₀ = 2V

Substitute 402 volts for V in the above equation.

V₀ = 2 x 402

V₀ = 804 volts

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced using the current. The simplest form of an electromagnet is a wire wrapped around in a coil.
The strength of magnetic field of such magnet is given with this equation:
B=\frac{NI\mu}{L}
Where N is the number of loops in the coil, I is the strength of the current flowing through the coil, L is the length of the coil, and \mu is <span>permeability of the electromagnet core material.
From this equation, we can see that increasing both the current and number of loops will increase the strength of the magnet.
Both BLANKS should be Increase. When you use the additional battery you will have more voltage and more voltage means more electricity.</span>
