Aparallel plate capacitor is filled with a material of dielectric constant k and conductivity g. it is charged with an initial charge q. (a) show that the charge leaks off the plates as an exponential function of time. (b) show that the total joule heat production equals the electrostatic energy stored initially. (c) what is the time constant for the discharge if the material is silicon oxide

Apair of 10μf capacitors in a high-power laser are charged to 1.7 kv.a. what charge is stored in each capacitor? b. how much energy is stored in each capacitor?

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. first, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. by monitoring the capacitor voltage on an oscilloscope, you see that the voltage decays to half its initial value in 3.00 ms . you then use the resistor and capacitor to make a low-pass filter. what is the crossover frequency fc?
