Determine the absolute value of the work in joules needed to transfer a charge of 3uC from one plate of a capacitor to the other plate, given that the capacitance is 1 microfarad. At the moment the transfer takes place, the total charge on one plate of the capacitor is 5uC. Assume that the electric field in the capacitor is static and conservative. Express in microjoules.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
