Figure 25-54 shows capacitor 1 , capacitor 2 , and capacitor 3 connected to a 12.0 V battery. When switch S is closed so as to connect uncharged capacitor 4 , (a) how much charge passes through point Pfrom the battery and (b) how much charge shows up on capacitor 4? (c) Explain the discrepancy in those two results.
The chocolate crumb mystery.Explosions ignited by electrostatic discharges (sparks) constitute a serious danger in facilities handling grain or powder. Such an explosion occurred in chocolate crumb powder at a biscuit factory in the 1970s. Workers usually emptied newly delivered sacks of the powder into a loading bin, from which it was blown through electrically grounded plastic pipes to a silo for storage. As part of the investigation of the biscuit factory explosion, the electric potentials of the workers were measured as they emptied sacks of chocolate crumb powder into the loading bin, stirring up a cloud of the powder around themselves. Each worker had an electric potential of about 7.0kVrelative to the ground, which was taken as zero potential.(a)Assuming that each worker was effectively a capacitor with a typical capacitance of 200pF, find the energy stored in that effective capacitor. If a single spark between the worker and any conducting object connected to the ground neutralized the worker, that energy would be transferred to the spark. According to measurements, a spark that could ignite a cloud of chocolate crumb powder, and thus set off an explosion, had to have energy of at least150mJ. (b)Could a spark from a worker have set off an explosion in the cloud of powder in the loading bin?
How much energy is stored in of air due to the 鈥渇air weather鈥 electric field of magnitude 150 V/m?
Repeat Question 5 foradded in series rather than in parallel.
