If you were to walk toward a Van der Graaff generator, the effect of its electrical field would get weaker as you walked towards

it.

This is False.  

If you walk towards a Vander Graaff generator and touch it, your body will be electrically charged with the same sign as the generator (that’s why your hair stands up, because it is charged with static electricity, and…electrical charges of the same sign repel each other)

Note that the Vander Graaff generator is isolated from the ground, so, if the electrical charge is increased, electrical arcs will form and fly off it to any nearby grounded object or person.

(a) When a battery is connected to the plates of a 8.00-µF capacitor, it stores a charge of 48.0 µC. What is the voltage of the
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a.6 V

b.24 V

Explanation:

We are given that

a.C=8\mu F=8\times 10^{-6} F

1\mu =10^{-6}

Q=48\mu C=48\times 10^{-6} C

We know that

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Using the formula

V=\frac{48\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=6 V

b.Q=192\mu C=192\times 10^{-6} C

V=\frac{192\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=24 V
