Get started for freeA parallel plate capacitor with a plate area of \(12.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\) and air in the space between the plates, which are separated by \(1.50 \mathrm{~mm},\) is connected to a \(9.00-\mathrm{V}\) battery. If the plates are pulled back so that the separation increases to \(2.75 \mathrm{~mm}\) how much work is done?
An isolated solid spherical conductor of radius \(5.00 \mathrm{~cm}\) is surrounded by dry air. It is given a charge and acquires potential \(V\), with the potential at infinity assumed to be zero. a) Calculate the maximum magnitude \(V\) can have. b) Explain clearly and concisely why there is a maximum.
A parallel plate capacitor with square plates of edge length \(L\) separated by a distance \(d\) is given a charge \(Q\), then disconnected from its power source. A close-fitting square slab of dielectric, with dielectric constant \(\kappa\), is then inserted into the previously empty space between the plates. Calculate the force with which the slab is pulled into the capacitor during the insertion process.
A typical AAA battery has stored energy of about 3400 J. (Battery capacity is typically listed as \(625 \mathrm{~mA} \mathrm{~h}\), meaning that much charge can be delivered at approximately \(1.5 \mathrm{~V}\).) Suppose you want to build a parallel plate capacitor to store this amount of energy, using a plate separation of \(1.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) and with air filling the space between the plates. a) Assuming that the potential difference across the capacitor is \(1.5 \mathrm{~V},\) what must the area of each plate be? b) Assuming that the potential difference across the capacitor is the maximum that can be applied without dielectric breakdown occurring, what must the area of each plate be? c) Is either capacitor a practical replacement for the AAA batterv?
Two circular metal plates of radius \(0.61 \mathrm{~m}\) and thickness \(7.1 \mathrm{~mm}\) are used in a parallel plate capacitor. A gap of 2.1 mm is left between the plates, and half of the space (a semicircle) between the plates is filled with a dielectric for which \(\kappa=11.1\) and the other half is filled with air. What is the capacitance of this capacitor?
