When storm clouds produce lightening and thunder, then, potential energy changes into kinectic energy.
The clouds become negatively charged,and the ground is positively charged during a storm. So there creates a potential difference between the charged clouds and the ground. And when this becomes huge so much that it over comes the electrical insulation cover of air, the electrons jump to the ground.i.e. the potential energy changes into kinetic energy.
Answer:
A) 4.035 × 10^(9) J
B) 9.29 × 10^(9) J
Explanation:
We are given;
Capacitance of the original capacitor; C = 1.33 F
Potential difference given to the original capacitor; V = 77.9 kV = 77.9 × 10³ V
A) The formula for Potential energy (U) for the original capacitor is given as:
U = ½CV²
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
U = ½ × 1.33 × (77.9 × 10³)²
U = 4.035 × 10^(9) J
B) We are told that the capacitor with dielectric constant of 427, was replaced with one possessing a dielectric constant of 983.
Thus;
U = ½ × 1.33 × (983/427) × (77.9 × 10³)²
U = 9.29 × 10^(9) J
The reactants are the substances that start the chemical reaction, while the products are the substances that are produced due to the chemical reaction.
In the chemical reaction of the problem:
the substances on the left (Zn and S) are those that start the reaction, so they are the reactants, while the substance on the right (ZnS) is the one produced in the reaction, so it is the product.
