A parallel-plate air capacitor of area A = 15.0 cm2 and plate separation d = 3.00 mm is charged by a battery to a voltage 58.0 V. If a dielectric material with ? = 4.60 is inserted so that it fills the volume between the plates (with the capacitor still connected to the battery), how much additional charge will flow from the battery onto the positive plate?

The additional charge that will flow from the battery onto the positive plate is 0.924 nC

Explanation:

Given;

Area of the capacitor, A = 15.0 cm² = 15 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Separation distance, d = 3.00 mm = 3 x 10⁻³ m²

voltage of the capacitor, V = 58.0 V

dielectric constant, k = 4.60

Initial Capacitance of the capacitor before the addition of dielectric material:

Initial charge across the parallel plates:

Q₁ = CV

Q = 4.425 x 10⁻¹² x 58 = 2.567 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

Capacitance of the capacitor after the addition of dielectric material:

Cequ. = Ck

Cequ. = 4.425 x 10⁻¹²F x 4.6 = 20.355 x 10⁻¹² F

Final charge across the parallel plates:

Q₂ = Cequ. x V

Q₂ =  20.355 x 10⁻¹² x 58 = 11.806 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

Additional charge = Q₂ - Q₁

                              = 11.806 x 10⁻¹⁰ C - 2.567 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

                              = 9.239 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

                              = 0.924 nC

Therefore, the additional charge that will flow from the battery onto the positive plate is 0.924 nC

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
