The same voltage is applied between the plates of two different capacitors. When used with capacitor A, this voltage causes the capacitor to store 17 μC of charge and 5.7 x 10^-5 J of energy. When used with capacitor B, which has a capacitance of 6.9 μF, this voltage causes the capacitor to store a charge that has a magnitude of qB. Determine qB.
C = q/V
so V = q/C
so
V = qA/CA = qB/CB
and
E = (1/2) q V = (1/2) C V^2
5.7*10^-5 = (1/2)(17*10^-6)V
so
V = 6.71 volts
then
6.71 = (qB/6.9)10^6
Well, let's see... if we know the energy stored in capacitor A and the charge stored in it, we can use that information to find the voltage applied.
The formula for the energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
E = (1/2) * C * V^2
where E is the energy, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage.
For capacitor A, we have:
5.7 x 10^-5 J = (1/2) * C * V^2
Plugging in the given capacitance and rearranging the equation, we can solve for V:
V^2 = (2 * 5.7 x 10^-5 J) / C
V^2 = (2 * 5.7 x 10^-5 J) / 17 x 10^-6 F
V^2 = 2.6 J/F
V = sqrt(2.6 J/F)
So, now that we know the voltage applied, let's find the charge stored in capacitor B.
The formula for the charge stored in a capacitor is given by:
q = C * V
where q is the charge, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage.
For capacitor B, we have:
qB = C * V
Plugging in the given capacitance and the voltage we found earlier, we get:
qB = 6.9 x 10^-6 F * sqrt(2.6 J/F)
And calculating that, we find:
qB ≈ 1.29 x 10^-5 C
So, the magnitude of the charge stored in capacitor B would be approximately 1.29 μC.
To determine the charge stored in capacitor B, we can use the formula for the energy stored in a capacitor:
E = (1/2) * C * V^2
Where E is the energy stored, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage applied.
We are given the energy stored for capacitor A (5.7 x 10^-5 J) and the charge stored for capacitor A (17 μC). We can use these values to find the voltage applied using the formula:
E = (1/2) * C * V^2
5.7 x 10^-5 J = (1/2) * (17 x 10^-6 C) * V^2
Rearranging the equation to solve for V:
V^2 = (2 * 5.7 x 10^-5 J) / (17 × 10^-6 C)
V^2 = (0.114 J) / (17 x 10^-6 C)
V^2 = 6.71 x 10^3 J/C
Taking the square root of both sides:
V = sqrt(6.71 x 10^3 J/C)
V ≈ 82.00 V
Now that we have the voltage applied for capacitor B, we can find the charge stored by using the formula:
qB = C * V
qB = (6.9 x 10^-6 F) * (82 V)
qB = 0.5658 C
Therefore, the magnitude of the charge stored in capacitor B is approximately 0.5658 C.
To determine the magnitude of qB, we can use the formula for the energy stored in a capacitor.
The formula for the energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
E = (1/2) * C * V^2
Where:
E is the energy stored in the capacitor
C is the capacitance of the capacitor
V is the voltage applied across the plates of the capacitor
For capacitor A, we are given that it stores 5.7 x 10^-5 J of energy and 17 μC of charge. We can use these values to find the capacitance of capacitor A.
Let's calculate the capacitance of capacitor A:
E = (1/2) * C * V^2
5.7 x 10^-5 J = (1/2) * C * (V^2)
C = (2 * E) / (V^2)
C = (2 * 5.7 x 10^-5 J) / (17 x 10^-6 C)^2
C ≈ 1 x 10^-4 F
Now we know the capacitance of capacitor A.
Next, we can use the capacitance of capacitor B (6.9 μF) and the voltage to calculate the magnitude of charge qB.
Using the formula for the charge on a capacitor:
Q = C * V
Let's calculate qB using the provided values:
qB = C * V
qB = 6.9 x 10^-6 F * V
Since the same voltage is applied to both capacitors, we can take the ratio of qB to the charge on capacitor A to find the magnitude of qB:
qB / 17 μC = Cb / Ca
Where:
Cb is the capacitance of capacitor B
Ca is the capacitance of capacitor A
Let's substitute the values and solve for qB:
qB / 17 μC = (6.9 x 10^-6 F) / (1 x 10^-4 F)
Cross-multiplying and solving for qB:
qB = (17 μC) * (6.9 x 10^-6 F) / (1 x 10^-4 F)
qB ≈ 1.16 μC
So, the magnitude of qB is approximately 1.16 μC.
