The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 7.90 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.70 mm, are charged by a 7.90

V battery. They are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a separation of 8.80 mm. Neglecting fringing, find (a) the potential difference between the plates, (b) the initial stored energy, (c) the final stored energy, and (d) the work required to separate the plates.

Answer:

A) 26V

Explanation:

(a) the potential difference between the plates

Initial capacitance can be calculated using below expresion

C1= A ε0/ d1

Where d1= distance between = 2.70 mm= 2.70× 10^-3 m

ε0= permittivity of space= 8.85× 10^-12 Fm^-1

A= area of the plate = 7.90 cm2 = 7.90 ×10^-4 m^2

If we substitute the values we

C1= A ε0/ d1

=( 7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/2.70× 10^-3

C1=2.589 ×10^-12 F= 2.59 pF

Initial charge can be determined using below expresion

q1= C1 × V1

V1=2.589 ×10^-12 F

V1= voltage=7.90 V

If we substitute we have

q1= 2.589 ×10^-12 × 7.90

q1= 20.45×10^-12C

20.45 pC

Final capacitance can be calculated as

C2= A ε0/ d2

d2=8.80 mm= /8.80× 10^-3

7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/8.80× 10^-3

C1=0.794 ×10^-12 F= 0.794 pF

Final charge= initial charge

q2=q1 (since the battery is disconnected)

q2=q1= 20.45 pC

Final potential difference

V2= q/C2

= 20.45/0.794

= 26V

A car travels 82 meters do North and 14 seconds the car turns around and travels 44 m due south in four seconds what is the magn

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

2.11 m/s

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (82 m + -44 m) / (14 s + 4 s)

v = 2.11 m/s

The velocity is positive, so it is 2.11 m/s north. The magnitude of the velocity is 2.11 m/s.

magine an astronaut on an extrasolar planet, standing on a sheer cliff 50.0 m high. She is so happy to be on a different planet,

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'} } )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g} } )$

Explanation:

Given:

height above which the rock is thrown up, $\Delta h=50\ m$

initial velocity of projection, $u=20\ m.s^{-1}$

let the gravity on the other planet be g'

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the exoplanet:

$v=u+g'.t'$

where:

$v=$ final velocity at the top height = 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$0=20-g'.t'$ (-ve sign to indicate that acceleration acts opposite to the velocity)

$t'=\frac{20}{g'}\ s$

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the earth:

$v=u+g.t$

$0=20-g.t$

$t=\frac{20}{g} \ s$

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the exoplanet:

$v^2=u^2+2g'.h'$

where:

$v=$ final velocity at the top height = 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$0^2=20^2-2\times g'.h'$

$h'=\frac{200}{g'}\ m$

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the earth:

$v^2=u^2+2g.h$

$0^2=20^2-2g.h$

$h=\frac{200}{g}\ m$

The time taken by the rock to fall from the highest point to the ground on the exoplanet:

$(50+h')=u.t_f'+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2$ (during falling it falls below the cliff)

here:

$u=$ initial velocity= 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$\frac{200}{g'}+50 =0+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2$

$t_f'^2=\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}$

$t_f'=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'} }$

Similarly on earth:

$t_f=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g} }$

Now the required time difference:

$\Delta t=(t'+t_f')-(t+t_f)$

$\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'} } )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g} } )$

At which point on this electric field will a test charge show the maximum strength?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The figure shows the electric field produced by a spherical charge distribution - this is a radial field, whose strength decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance from the centre of the charge:

$E\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

More precisely, the strength of the field at a distance r from the centre of the sphere is

$E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the charge on the sphere.

From the equation, we see that the field strength decreases as we move away from the sphere: therefore, the strength is maximum for the point closest to the sphere, which is point A.

This can also be seen from the density of field lines: in fact, the closer the field lines, the stronger the field. Point A is the point where the lines have highest density, therefore it is also the point where the field is strongest.
