Question: (I) What is the capacitance of a pair of circular plates with a radius of 5.0 cm separated by 2.8 mm of mica?
(II) What is the speed of a proton whose KE is 4.2 keV?
In the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) of a computer, each memory cell contains a capacitor for charge storage. Each of these cells represents a single binary bit value of 鈥1鈥 when its 35-fF capacitor \(\left( {{\bf{1}}\;{\bf{fF = 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 15}}}}\;{\bf{F}}} \right)\) is charged at 1.5 V, or 鈥0鈥 when uncharged at 0 V.
(a) When fully charged, how many excess electrons are on a cell capacitor鈥檚 negative plate?
(b) After charge has been placed on a cell capacitor鈥檚 plate, it slowly 鈥渓eaks鈥 off at a rate of about \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.30}}\;{\bf{fC/s}}\). How long does it take for the potential difference across this capacitor to decrease by 2.0% from its fully charged value? (Because of this leakage effect, the charge on a DRAM capacitor is 鈥渞efreshed鈥 many times per second.) Note: A DRAM cell is shown in Fig. 21鈥29.
(II) An electric field of \({\bf{8}}{\bf{.50 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{5}}}\;{\bf{V/m}}\) is desired between two parallel plates, each of area \({\bf{45}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{c}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\) and separated by 2.45 mm of air. What charge must be on each plate?
In an older television tube, electrons are accelerated by thousands of volts through a vacuum. If a television set were laid on its back, would electrons be able to move upward against the force of gravity? What potential difference, acting over a distance of 2.4 cm, would be needed to balance the downward force of gravity so that an electron would remain stationary? Assume that the electric field is uniform.
