The capacitance of the variable capacitor of a radio can be changed from 100 to 350 pF by turning the dial from 0° to 180°. With

the dial set at 180°, the capacitor is connected to a 130 V battery. After charging, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and the dial is turned to 0°. What is the charge on the capacitor now?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

455pF

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given;

Turning dial from 0° to 180° changes;

capacitance from 100 to 350pF

Also, we know that the capacitance (C) of a capacitor is related to the charge(Q) on and voltage (V) across the capacitor as follows;]

Q = CV       --------------------------(i)

Now, since at 180° the capacitor is connected to 130V, this means that the capacitance of the capacitor at that point is 350pF.

i.e

at V = 130V, C = 350pF = 3.50 x 10⁻¹²F

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

Q = 3.50 x 10⁻¹² x 130

Q = 455 x 10⁻¹²C

Q = 455pF

Therefore, the charge of the capacitor at 180°, 350pF is 455pF.

But, since the charge on a capacitor remains unless it is discharged, the charge of the capacitor even at 0° at a disconnected battery source remains 455pF.

Answer:

0.7 mJ

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The work required to turn the dial from 180° to 0°  

<u>List the Knowns:  </u>

Capacitance when the dial is set at 180°: C = 350 pF = 350 x 10^-12 F Capacitance when the dial is set at 0°: C = 100 pF = 100 x 10^-12 F  

Voltage of the battery: V = 130 V  

<u>Set Up the Problem:</u>  

<em><u>Energy stored in a capacitor: </u></em>

U_c=1/2*V^2*C

      =1/2*Q^2/C

<em><u>When the dial is set at 180°:</u></em><em>  </em>

U_c=1/2*(130)^2*350*10^-12=10^-4

Q=√2*U_c*C=4*10^-7

<u><em>When the dial is set at 0°:</em></u>  

U_c=1/2*(4*10^-7)^2/100*10^-12

      =8*10^-4 J

<u><em>Solve the Problem:  </em></u>

ΔU_c=7*10^-4 J

        =0.7 mJ

note:

there maybe error in calculation but method is correct

<h2>Activities illustrates the Nature of a Dialectical Process</h2>

Dialectical method is at center a conversation among two or more characters carrying diverse localities of opinion regarding a topic but hoping to build the fact by reasoned disputes. Dialectic relates a discussion but cleft of biased components such as passionate plea and the recent derogatory knowledge of eloquence.

It can be compared with the dialectic method where one faction of the communication informs the another. Logic is alternatively identified as lesser reasoning, as objected to superior thought or commentary.

Explanation:

V=d/t

V= velocity

D= displacement

T=time

D=v*t

D=17*1000

D= 17000cm

Convert to metres

D= 17000/100

D= 170m
