You are given a parallel plate capacitor that has plates of area 29 cm2 which are separated by 0.0100 mm of nylon (dielectric constant κ = 3.4). You are told to assume that this capacitor stores 0.18 mC of charge. Calculate what the applied voltage in kV should be for this capacitor.

20.60 kV

Explanation:

Capacitance of parallel plates without dielectric between them is:

with d the distance between the plates, A the area of the plates and ε₀ the constant , so :

But the dielectric constant is defined as:

With C the effective capacitance (with the dielectric) and Co the original capacitance (without the dielectric). So, the new capacitance is:

But capacitance is related with voltage by:

with Q the charge and V the voltage, using the new capacitance and solving for V:

b. false

explanation:

suppose a rock in free fall is dropped off a cliff. after falling for 5 seconds, its speed would not be 100 m/s.
