What is the capacitance of the two metal spheres shown in Figure EX26.22?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The capacitance of this system is2×10-10F.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We need to find the capacitance of the two metal spheres.

02

Simplify

Using the formula for capacitance to solve for the capacitance between the 2spheres. And it is given as

C=QV→20×10-9C100V=2×10-10F

Light from the sun allows a solar cell to move electrons from the positive to the negative terminal, doing 2.4×10-19Jof work per electron. What is the emf of this solar cell?

Two 10-cm-diameter electrodes 0.50 cm apart form a parallelplate capacitor. The electrodes are attached by metal wires to the terminals of a 15 V battery. What are the charge on each electrode, the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and the potential difference between the electrodes a. While the capacitor is attached to the battery? b. After insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 1.0 cm apart? The electrodes remain connected to the battery during this process. c. After the original electrodes (not the modified electrodes of part b) are expanded until they are 20 cm in diameter while remaining connected to the battery?
