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

What are the two main types of energy?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Fourth option

Explanation:

They're many different types of energy, from chemical and mechanical to heat and solar energy. But the two most basic types of energy are "kinetic and potential energy" or the fourth option. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has when it is in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has when it's as rest. These two specific types of energies are the most basic and you can even convert them into many different types of energies, like heat or electrical energy.

Hope this helps.

A Foucault pendulum consists of a brass sphere with a diameter of 31.0 cm suspended from a steel cable 11.0 m long (both measure
kozerog [31]

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

\alpha_b = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = 18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

\alpha_s = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

L_{0b} = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

L_{0s} = Initial length of steel = 11 m

\Delta L = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C

\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C

The final temperature is 43.7 °C
