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 particle…

Textbook Question

Chapter 21, Problem 84GP

The highest magnetic fields in the world are generated when large arrays, or “banks,” of capacitors are discharged through the copper coils of an electromagnet. At the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the total capacitance of the capacitor bank is 32 mF. Capacitors are discharged through the copper coils of an electromagnet. At the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the total capacitance of the capacitor bank is 32 mF.

These capacitors can be charged to 16 kV.

A. What is the energy stored in the capacitor bank when it is fully charged?

B. When discharged, the entire energy from this bank flows through the magnet coil in 10 ms. What is the average power delivered to the coils during this time?

While cruising down University Boulevard you are stopped by a cop who states that you ran a red traffic light. Because you don't want to pay the stiff fine, you are attempting a physics defense. You claim that due to the relativistic Doppler effect, the red color of the light λ=616 nm appeared green '=531 nm to you. The cop makes a quick calculation of his own and rejects your defense. How fast, in terms of your speed u divided by the speed of light in vacuum c, would you have to drive to justify your claim? Note that the speed u is taken to be a positive quantity. U 4.0 C

220 V is supplied to 800 primary turns of an autotransformer. What will the outputvoltage be across 200 secondary turns? 2. A filament transformer has a turns ratio of 1:20. What current must be supplied to theprimary windings if 5 A is required by the filament? 3. The filament transformer in the previous question is supplied with 150 V to theprimary side. What is the secondary voltage? 4. 440 V is supplied to 1000 primary turns of an autotransformer. If the desired outputvoltage is 100 V how many secondary turns must be tapped?
