The capacitance of the variable capacitor of a radio can be changed from 100 to 350 pF by turning the dial from 0° to 180°. With
tangare [24]

Answer:

0.7 mJ

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The work required to turn the dial from 180° to 0°  

<u>List the Knowns:  </u>

Capacitance when the dial is set at 180°: C = 350 pF = 350 x 10^-12 F Capacitance when the dial is set at 0°: C = 100 pF = 100 x 10^-12 F  

Voltage of the battery: V = 130 V  

<u>Set Up the Problem:</u>  

<em><u>Energy stored in a capacitor: </u></em>

U_c=1/2*V^2*C

      =1/2*Q^2/C

<em><u>When the dial is set at 180°:</u></em><em>  </em>

U_c=1/2*(130)^2*350*10^-12=10^-4

Q=√2*U_c*C=4*10^-7

<u><em>When the dial is set at 0°:</em></u>  

U_c=1/2*(4*10^-7)^2/100*10^-12

      =8*10^-4 J

<u><em>Solve the Problem:  </em></u>

ΔU_c=7*10^-4 J

        =0.7 mJ

note:

there maybe error in calculation but method is correct

Unpolarized light with intensity I0I0I_0 is incident on an ideal polarizing filter. The emerging light strikes a second ideal po
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A) I = Io 0.578,   B) he light that leaves the polarized is completely polarized, being perpendicular to the axis of the second filter

Explanation:

A) Light passing through a polarizer must comply with the / bad law

          I = Io cos2 tea

Where is at the angle of the polarizer and incident light

          I = Io cos2 45

         I = Io 0.578

Therefore the beam intensity is 0.578 of the incident intensity

.B) the light that leaves the polarized is completely polarized, being perpendicular to the axis of the second filter
