Please help with this 3-part question regarding capacitors. Thank you very much! Part 1. A parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of 1.97 pF and a plate area of 5.86 cm2. What is the separation distance between the plates? Part 2. A 1.97-pF capacitor is connected to a 9.0-V battery and fully charged. How many electrons did the battery transfer from one capacitor plate to the other? Part 3. A 1.97-pF capacitor with a plate area of 5.86 cm2 and separation between the plates of 2.63 mm is connected to a 9.0-V battery and fully charged. Then the separation between the plates is adjusted so that the energy stored in the capacitor is increased by a factor of 3.5. What is the new plate separation distance?
A parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 20 cm on a side and 1 mm apart. The capacitor is connected to a 50-V battery. Hint # a. What is the energy stored in the capacitor? Energy stored in the capacitor is b. With the battery still connected, the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2 mm. What is the energy stored in the capacitor now? Energy now stored in the capacitor is c. This time, starting from situation in (a), with the batteries disconnected (but capacitors still charged), the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2 mm. What is the energy stored in the capacitor now? Energy now stored in the capacitor is d. Comparing your results in (b) and (c) above, it makes sense that the energy stored in the capacitor- increases in (c), because the work done in separating the plates is stored as the electrostatic potential energy. In (b), why does the energy decrease even though work is done in separating the plates? E D Submit Question с 4 O The energy is not…
