Question

Predict: what is the ratio of the final energy to the initial energy, Uf/Ui, if the final state has been achieved by the following sequence of steps (starting from the initial situation)? Initial Area is 100 mm^2 and initial separation distance is 10 mm.

  1. the battery is disconnected
  2. the area is quadrupled
  3. the dielectric is taken out of the capacitor
  4. the separation is halved.

Recreate the the table previously given below. Add a column to solve for the ratio.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Initial conditions,

Area, Ai=100mm2

Separation, di=10mm

Dielectric constant, ki=5

Final conditions,

Area, Af=400mm2

Separation, df=5mm

Dielectric constant, kf=1

Capacitance, 

C=ε0kAd

The energy is stored in the capacitor is given by,

U=Q22CU=Q22ε0kAdUdkA

Because the charge will not change on the plates.

So the ratio of final energy to initial energy,

UfUi=dfkfAfdikiAiUfUi=51×400105×100UfUi=0.625
