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

What is the likely identity of a metal if a sample has a mass of 63.5 g when measured in air and an apparent mass of 60.2 g when
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Gold

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of sample = 63.5 g

Mass of water = 60.2 g

Find:

Object

Computation:

Mass of water displaced = 63.5 g - 60.2 g

Mass of water displaced = 3.3 g

So, volume in water = 3.3 cm³

Density = Mass / Volume

Density = 63.5 g / 3.3

Density = 19.24

So,

Object ,must be gold.

A wire carrying a 29.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet's
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

2.59 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current flowing through the wire, I = 29 A

Angle between the magnetic field and wire, θ = 90°

Magnetic force, F = 2.25 N

Length of wire, L = 3 cm = 0.03 m

The magnetic force, F, is related to the magnetic field, B, by the equation below:

F = I * L * B * sinθ

Inputting the given parameters:

2.25 = 29 * 0.03 * B * sin90

2.25 = 0.87 * B

=> B = 2.25/0.87

B = 2.59 T

The magnetic field strength between the poles is 2.59 T

Given three different locations on Earth's surface, where will the weight of a person be greatest?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that  

F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of G, m_{1} ,m_{2}, we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line
