There is a parallel plate capacitor. Both plates are 4x2 cm and are 10 cm apart. The top plate has surface charge density of 10C

/m^2 and the bottom plate has a surface charge density of -10C/m^2. Find the total charge on each plate. Find the electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates. Find the electric potential between the two plates. If an electron was in the middle the two plates, find the force on it.

Answer:

1) The total charge of the top plate is 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate is -0.008 C

2) The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates is 0

3) The electric field between plates is approximately 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates is approximately 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The given parameters of the parallel plate capacitor are;

The dimensions of the plates = 4 × 2 cm

The distance between the plates = 10 cm

The surface charge density of the top plate, σ₁ = 10 C/m²

The surface charge density of the bottom plate, σ₂ = -10 C/m²

The surface area, A = 0.04 m × 0.02 m = 0.0008 m²

1) The total charge of the top plate, Q = σ₁ × A = 0.0008 m² × 10 C/m² = 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate, Q = σ₂ × A = 0.0008 m² × -10 C/m² = -0.008 C

2) The electrical field at the point exactly midway between the plates is given as follows;

V_{tot} = V_{q1} + V_{q2}

V_q = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{r}

Therefore, we have;

The distance to the midpoint between the two plates = 10 cm/2 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

V_{tot} =  \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} + \dfrac{k \cdot (-q)}{0.05}  = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} - \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} = 0

The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates, V_{tot} = 0

3) The electric field, 'E', between plates is given as follows;

E =\dfrac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0 } = \dfrac{10 \ C/m^2}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2/(N\cdot m^2)} \approx 1.1294 \times 10^{12}\ N/C

E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

The electric field between plates, E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates

The charge on an electron, e = -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, F_e = E × e

∴ F_e = 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C ×  -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, F_e ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Shaping will happen if _____.
Pavlova-9 [17]
What is being done in shaping is that it directs and guides the change in one's behavior. Therefore, what will happen when one undergoes shaping is that you encourage a lot of minor behaviors which would add up to one large action. The answer to this would be the first option.

he triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm extends the forearm. This muscle in a professional boxer exerts a force of 2.00 1
meriva

Answer:

Moment of inertia = 0.3862kg-m²

Explanation:

2.00x10³

2.80cm

145 rad

r = r⊥ x F

F is an applied force

r⊥ is the distance between the applied force and axis

Force exerted = 2.00x10³

r⊥ = 2.8cm = 0.028m

Alpha = 145rad/s²

r = 0.028m x 2.00x10³

r = 56.0N-m

To get the moment of inertia

56.0N-m² = (145rad/s²) x I

The I would be:

I = (56.0N-m²)/(145rad/s²)

I = 56/145

= 0.3862Kg-m²

This is the moment of inertia.

Thank you!

A circular pipe of 25-mm outside diameter is placed in an airstream at 25C and 1-atm pressure. The air moves in cross flow over
kifflom [539]

Answer:

f_D = =3.24 N/m

Explanation:

data given

properties of air\nu\ of air =19.31*10^{-6} m2/s

\rho = 1.048 kg/m3

k = 0.0288 W/m.K

WE KNOW THAT

Reynold's number is given as

Re =\frac{VD}{\nu}

      = \frac{ 15*0.025}{19.31*10^{-6}}

      = 1.941 *10^4

drag coffecient is given as

C_D = \frac{f_D}{A_f\frac{\rho v^2}{2}}

solving for f_D

f_D = C_D A_f*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}

     =C_D D*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}

Drag coffecient for smooth circular cylinder is 1.1

therefore Drag force is

f_D = 1.1*0.025 *\frac{1.048*15^2}{2}

f_D = =3.24 N/m
