Give the reason why a dielectric material increases capacitance compared with what it would be with air between the plates of a capacitor. What is the independent reason that a dielectric material also allows a greater voltage to be applied to a capacitor? (The dielectric thus increases C and permits a greater V.)
True or False? (a) From the definition of capacitance C = Q/V it follows that an uncharged capacitor has a capacitance of zero. (b) As described by the definition of capacitance, the potential difference across an uncharged capacitor is zero.
Does the capacitance of a device depend on the applied voltage? Does the capacitance of a device depend on the charge residing on it?
Give a reason why a dielectric material increases capacitance compared with what it would be with air between the plates of a capacitor. How does a dielectric material also allow a greater voltage to be applied to a capacitor? (The dielectric thus increases C and permits a greater V.)
Calculate the equivalent capacitance between points a and b in Figure P26.77. Notice that this system is not a simple series or parallel combination. Suggestion: Assume a potential difference v between [joints a and b. Write expressions for vab in terms of the charges and capacitances for the various possible pathways from a to b and require conservation of charge for those capacitor plates that are connected to each other.
Does the capacitance of a spherical capacitor depend on which sphere is charged positively or negatively?
A capacitor is made from two flat parallel plates placed 0.40 mm apart. When a charge of 0.020C is placed oil the plates the potential difference between them is 250 V. (a) What is the capacitance of the plates? (b) What is the area of each plate? (c) What is the charge on the plates when the potential difference between them is 500 V? (d) What maximum potential difference can be applied between the plates so that the magnitude of electrical fields between the plates does not exceed 3.0 MV/m?
Unreasonable Results (a) A certain parallel plate capacitor has plates of area 4.00 m2 separated by 0.0100 mm of nylon, and stores 0.170 C of charge. What is the applied voltage? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible or inconsistent?
It the voltage between two points is zero, can a test charge be moved between them with zero net work being done? Can this necessarily be done without exerting a force? Explain.
What is the relationship between voltage and energy? Mote precisely, what is the relationship between potential difference and electric potential energy?
A parallel-plate capacitor is filled with two dielectrics, as shown below. When the plate area is A and separation between plates is d, show that the capacitance is given by C=0Adk1+k22 C=0Adk1+k22 C=0Adk1+k22
If you have ever tried to hang a picture or a mirror, you know it can be difficult to locate a wooden stud in which to anchor your nail or screw. A carpenters stud finder is a capacitor with its plates arranged side by side instead of facing each other as shown in Figure 20.32. When the device is moved over a stud, does the capacitance (a) increase or (b) decrease?
