An air-gap parallel plate capacitor of capacitance c0 = 20 nf is connected to a battery with voltage v = 12 v. while the capacitor remains connected to the battery, we insert a dielectric (κ = 2.6) into the gap of the capacitor, filling one half of the volume as shown below. what is u, the energy stored in the this capacitor?

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
