Answer:
7.9060 m²
8.57 Volts
5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule
1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb
Explanation:
C = Capacitance between plates = 0.14 μF = 0.14×10⁻⁶ F
d = Distance between plates = 0.5 mm = 0.5×10⁻³ m
Q = Charge = 1.2 μC = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C
ε₀ = Permittivity = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m
Capacitance
∴ Area of each plate is 7.9060 m²
Voltage
∴ Potential difference between the plates if the capacitor is charged to 1.2 μC is 8.57 Volts.
Energy stored
E=0.5CV²
⇒E = 0.5×0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57²
⇒E = 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule
∴ Stored energy is 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule
Charge
Q = CV
⇒Q = 0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57
⇒Q = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C
∴ Charge the capacitor carries before a spark occurs between the two plates is 1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb
As it was explained in the Introductory Article on the Electromagnetic Spectrum, electromagnetic radiation can be described as a stream of photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern, carrying energy and moving at the speed of light. In that section, it was pointed out that the only difference between radio waves, visible light and gamma rays is the energy of the photons. Radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more, followed by visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.
That should be able to help answer your question :)
Question:
The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.
Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
Answer:
The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³
Explanation:
Here, we have mass density of cloud = 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3
Density = Mass/Volume
Volume = Mass/Density = If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have
28 kg water = 28000 g
Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.
Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.
