Maslowich2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

force = 20 N

distance = 6 m

work done = 20 × 6 = 120

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

a large parallel plate capacitor has plate seperation of 1.00 cm and plate area of 314 cm^2. The capacitor is connected across a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$W = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J$

Explanation:

The work done on the capacitor is equal to the difference in potential energy stored in the capacitor in two different cases.

The potential energy is given by the following formula:

$U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where C can be calculated using the plate separation and area.

$C = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.01} = 3.14\epsilon$

Therefore, the potential energy in the first case is

$U = \frac{1}{2}3.14\epsilon (20)^2 = 628\epsilon$

In the second case:

$C_2 = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.02} = 1.57\epsilon\\U = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V^2 = \frac{1}{2}1.57\epsilon (20)^2 = 314\epsilon$

The permittivity of the air is very close to that of vacuum, which is 8.8 x 10^-12.

So, the difference in the potential energy is

$W = U_2 - U_1 = \epsilon(314 - 628) = -314 \times 8.8 \times 10^{-12} = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J$
