A capacitor consists of two closely spaced metal conductors of large area, separated by a thin insulating foil. It has an electrical capacity of 3000.0 μF and is charged to a potential difference of 60.0 V. Calculate the amount of energy stored in the capacitor. Tries 0/20 Calculate the charge on this capacitor when the electrical energy stored in the capacitor is 6.53 J. Tries 0/20 If the two plates of the capacitor have their separation increased by a factor of 5 while the charge on the plates remains constant, by what factor is the energy stored in the capacitor increased?

1 = 5.4 J

2 = 0.1979 C

3 = 5

Explanation:

Energy in a capacitor, E is

E = 1/2 * C * V²

E = 1/2 * 3000*10^-6 * 60²

E = 1/2 * 3000*10^-6 * 3600

E = 1/2 * 10.8

E = 5.4 J

E = Q²/2C = 6.53 J

E * 2C = Q²

Q² = 6.53 * 2 * 3000*10^-6

Q² = 13.06 * 3000*10^-6

Q² = 0.03918

Q = √0.03918

Q = 0.1979 C

The Capacitor, C is inversely proportional to the distance of separation, D. Thus, if D is increased by 5 to be 5D, then C would be C/5. And therefore, our energy stored in the capacitor is increased by a factor of 5.

the answer is b, have negligible mass

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
