A positively charged particle is in the center of a parallel plate capacitor that has charge +/- Q on it's plates. Suppose the d

istance between the plates is doubled, with the charged particle remaining in the center. Does the force on this particle increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Answer:

the force remains constant if the charge does not change

Explanation:

In a capacitor the capacitance is given by

           C = ε₀ A / d

Where ε₀ is the permissiveness of emptiness, A is about the plates and d the distance between them.

The charge on the capacitor is given by the ratio

            Q = C ΔV

Let's apply these expressions to our problem, if the load remains constant

            C = Q / ΔV = ε₀ A / d

            ΔV / d = Q / ε₀ A

If the distance increases the capacitance should decrease, therefore if the charge is a constant the voltaje difference must increase

Now we can analyze the force on the test charge in the center of the capacitor

               ΔV = E d

               E= ΔV/d

               F = q E

              F = q ΔV / d

 Let's replace

          F = q Q /ε₀ A

From this expression we see that the force is constant since the voltage increase is compensated by increasing the distance, therefore the correct answer is that the force remains constant if the charge does not change

How many estimates are used in the calculation of depreciation?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Two estimates

Explanation:

There are mainly two estimates used in the calculation of depreciation such as the useful life and the salvage value of an asset. The salvage value is defined as the predicted amount that will be obtained by a company from an asset when it is disposed at the end of the useful life of the particular asset. On the other hand, the useful life commonly refers to the estimation of how long the asset is useful for the company. This is different from the lifespan of the asset.

A specimen of some metal having a rectangular cross section 9.54 mm x 13.9 mm is pulled in tension with a force of 20100 n, whic
Irina18 [472]
<span>Young modulus E = stress/strain where E is the elastic modulus. We seek to calculate the the strain. But we would have to get the stress first. Tensile stress = Force/Area. Force = 20100N. And the Area = 9.54* 13.9 = 132.606Nm^2. Strain = stress/E.where E = 79. Hence we have 132.606/79 = 1.67</span>
