Chapter 4: Q12DQ (page 808)

Is dielectric strength the same thing as dielectric constant? Explain any differences between the two quantities. Is there a Simple relationship between dielectric strength and dielectric constant (see Table 24.2).

Short Answer

Expert verified

No dielectric constant and dielectric strength is two different thing, there is a difference but as the dielectric constant increases, the dielectric strength increases.

Step by step solution

01

About Dielectric Constant

A quantity measuring the ability of a substance to store electrical energy in an electric field.

02

Determine the relation between dielectric constant and dielectric strength

The key difference between dielectric constant and dielectric strength is that dielectric constant is the ratio between the capacitance of an insulating material and the capacitance of vacuum whereas dielectric strength is the electrical strength of an insulating material.

No dielectric constant and dielectric strength is two different thing, There is a difference between dielectric constant and dielectric strength, where the dielectric constant is a unit less while the dielectric strength has the unit of the electric field.

As the dielectric constant increases, the dielectric strength increases

Therefore there is a difference but as the dielectric constant increases, the dielectric strength increases

In an L-R-C series circuit, what criteria could be used to decide whether the system is over damped or underdamped? For example, could we compare the maximum energy stored during one cycle to the energy dissipated during one cycle? Explain.

Two coils have mutual inductance M=3.25脳10-4H. The current in the first coil increases at a uniform rate of 830 A/S. (a) what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the second coil? Is it constant? (b) Suppose that the current described is in the second coil rather than the first. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in the first coil?

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?

Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of 400惟and 800惟. If the two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120Vline, find (a) the current through each bulb; (b) the power dissipated in each bulb; (c) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. The two light bulbs are now connected in parallel across the120Vline. Find (d) the current through each bulb; (e) the power dissipated in each bulb; (f) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. (g) In each situation, which of the two bulbs glows the brightest? (h) In which situation is there a greater total light output from both bulbs combined?

The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes10.20 V . (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?
