Chapter 4: Q39E (page 811)

A constant potential difference of 12 V is maintained between the terminals of a 0.25-碌F, parallel-plate, air capacitor. (a) A sheet of Mylar is inserted between the plates of the capacitor, completely filling the space between the plates. When this is done, how much additional charge flows onto the positive plate of the capacitor (see Table 24.1)? (b) What is the total induced charge on either face of the Mylar sheet? (c) What effect does the Mylar sheet have on the electric field between the plates? Explain how you can reconcile this with the increase in charge on the plates, which acts to increasethe electric field.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The additional charge flowing onto the positive plate of the capacitor is 6.3脳10-6C.
  2. The total induced charge on either face of the Mylar sheet is 6.3脳10-6C.
  3. There is no effect on the electric field between the plates.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Determination of the additional charge flowing onto the positive plate of the capacitor.

From the mentioned table, the dielectric constant for Mylar is,

K=3.1

The expression for capacitance,

C=QV

The additional charge,

鈭�Q=newcharge-originalcharge=Q-Q0=K-1Q0=K-1C0V0=2.12.5脳10-7F12V=6.3脳10-6C

Thus, the additional charge is 6.3脳10-6C.

02

(b) Determination of the total induced charge on either face of the Mylar sheet.

The total induced charge is given as,

Qi=Q1-1k=9.3脳10-61-13.1=6.3脳10-6C

Thus, the total induced charge is 6.3脳10-6C.

03

(c) Determination of the effect on the electric field between the plates.

The addition of Mylar doesn鈥檛 effect the electric field because from part (a) and (b) it can inferred that the induced charge is equal to the additional charge which will cancel each other. So the original electric field will be maintained.

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

When switch Sin Fig. E25.29 is open, the voltmeter V reads 3.08 V. When the switch is closed, the voltmeter reading drops to 2.97 V, and the ammeter A reads 1.65 A. Find the emf, the internal resistance of the battery, and the circuit resistance R. Assume that the two meters are ideal, so they don鈥檛 affect the circuit.
