alexander3133 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Posted April 15, 2007 An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with plate separation d and plate area A is connected to a battery which supplies a voltage Vo between plates. With the battery left connected, the plates are moved apart to a distance of 10d. Determine by what factor each of the following quantities changes:a) Vob) capacitance, Cc) electric field, Ed) electric flux density, De) charge, Qf) charge densityg) energy stored, UAn explaination on each answer will be highly appreciate, thanks.

walid Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I think but not sure the following:You know that C = e0 (A / d)where A is the area of the capacitor plates, and d is the distance between them. e0 is the permittivity of free space (8.85X10-12)a) Vo is still as lt is cause the relation did not affected by batt voltage. the capacitance of a capacitor will is a fix value when it is manufactured>b) capacitance, C: as d increase C decrease by the same factor (10 times) cause the relation is inversly proporetional the following link ia a calculator to see by yourselfhttp://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electromag/java/capacitance/c) electric field, E: V = Ed = (F/q)*d = Fd/q= W/q, since q (the charge) is at the demonator then E increased 10 timesd) electric flux density, D: I don't know may be later I can found somthinge) charge, Q: from the relation (Q = CV ) we see Q is directly proportinal to C, so Q is decreased 10 times as Cf) charge density: is decreased 10 times as Qg) energy stored, U: W = Quote
