Batteries do work to separate electric charge across its terminals (that's why one terminal is labeled "+" and the other is labeled "-"). The resulting charge separation creates an electric field that free charges follow to minimize the charge separation created by the battery. An ideal battery is able to separate charges by an amount of 7.09 Volts (in other words, the battery maintains a potential difference of 7.09 Volts), how much work does the battery do on a 186 mC (milliCoulomb) charge? Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in Joules (J), however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number.
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.
