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

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Atoms of tellurium (Te) have the greatest average number of neutrons equal to 76.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, Elements are represented with their respected symbols. Above the symbol is the elements atomic number which is equal to the number of protons in each atom. Below the symbol is the mass number of that element which is roughly equal to the sum of neutrons and protons of that atom.

To calculate the number of neutrons we can take the difference of Atomic number and mass number:

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

<u>- Tin:</u>

Atomic number = 50

Mass number = 119

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 119 - 50

Number of neutrons = 69

<u>- Antimony(Sb):</u>

Atomic number = 51

Mass number = 122

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 122 - 51

Number of neutrons = 71

<u>- Tellurium(Te):</u>

Atomic number = 52

Mass number = 128

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 128 - 52

Number of neutrons = <u>76</u>

<u>- Iodine(I):</u>

Atomic number = 53

Mass number = 127

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 127 - 53

Number of neutrons = 74

Here, the greatest number of neutrons is for the atoms of Tellurium(Te).

A cylindrical capacitor has an inner conductor of radius 2.7 mmmm and an outer conductor of radius 3.1 mmmm. The two conductors

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

(A) Capacitance per unit length = $4.02 \times 10^{-10}$

(B) The magnitude of charge on both conductor is $Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19}$ C and the sign of charge on inner conductor is $+Q$ and the sign on outer conductor is $-Q$

Explanation:

Given :

Radius of inner part of conductor $(R_{1})$ = $2.7 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Radius of outer part of conductor $(R_{2})$ = $3.1 \times 10^{-3}$ m

The length of the capacitor $(l)$ = $3 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

Capacitance is purely geometrical property. It depends only on length, radius of conductor.

From the formula of cylindrical capacitor,

$C = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} l }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }$

Where, $\epsilon_{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

But we need capacitance per unit length so,

$\frac{C}{l} = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }$

capacitance per unit length = $\frac{6.28 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} }{ln(1.148)} = 4.02 \times 10^{-10}$

(B)

The charge on both conductors is given by,

$Q = C \Delta V$

Where, C = capacitance of cylindrical capacitor and value of $C = 12.06 \times 10^{-13}$ F, $\Delta V = 350 \times 10^{-3}$ V

∴ $Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19}$ C

The magnitude of charge on both conductor is same as above but the sign of charge is different.

Charge on inner conductor is $+Q$ and Charge on outer conductor is $-Q$ .
