Find the electric field in the gap region (in V/m). a) 50,000 b) 75,000 c) 57, 100 d)65, 400 In problem 18, find the energy stored between the conducting sheets (in J) a) 1.48 times 10^-4 b) 1.01 times 10^-4 c) 2.09 times 10^-4 d) 6.64 times 10^-5 If the battery is removed and the plates are connected to a capacitor with capacitance C_2 = 7.00 times 10^-9 F. Find the new value for the energy stored between the conducting sheets (in J). a) 2.66 times 10^-5 b) 1.39 times 10^-5 c) 7.60 times 10^-5 d) 4.64 times 10^-5

Explanation / Answer

a)

E=V/d=150/0.003=50000 V/m

b)

C=eoA/d=(8.8542*10-12)*2/0.003=5.9*10-9 F

energy stored

U=(1/2)CV2=(1/2)*(5.9*10-9)*1502

U=6.64*10-5 J

c)

initial charge stored

Q=CV=(5.9*10-9)*150=8.85*10-7 J

equivalent capacitance

Ceq=(5.9+7)*10-9=1.29*10-8 F

new potential difference across capacitors

Vnew=Q/Ceq=(8.85*10-12)/(1.29*10-8)=68.6 Volts

energy stored in plates

Unew=(1/2)(5.9*10-9)*68.62=1.39*10-5 J
