How much energy is stored by the electric field between two square plates, 8.5 cm on a side, separated by a 2.5-mm air gap? The charges on the plates are equal and opposite and of magnitude 14 nC .

Respuesta :

Answer:

The stored energy is [tex]3.83\times10^{-6}\ J[/tex].

Explanation:

Given that,

One side of square plates = 8.5 cm

Distance = 2.5 mm

Charge = 14 nC

We need to calculate the energy stored

The energy is stored by the electric field between two square plates is defined as,

[tex]U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\epsilon_{0}\times(\dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_{0}})^2\times A\times D[/tex]

[tex]U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{q^2}{A\epsilon_{0}}\times D[/tex]

We calculate the area iof square plates

[tex]A=(8.5\times10^{-2})^2[/tex]

[tex]A=0.007225=72.2\times10^{-4}\ m^2[/tex]

Now, put the value into the formula

[tex]U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{(14\times10^{-9})^2}{72.2\times10^{-4}\times8.85\times10^{-12}}\times2.5\times10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]U=3.83\times10^{-6}\ J[/tex]

Hence, The stored energy is [tex]3.83\times10^{-6}\ J[/tex].

The quantity of energy that is stored by the electric field between two square plates is [tex]3.83\times 10^{-6}\;Joules[/tex]

Given the following data:

  • Distance = 2.5 mm to m = 0.0025 meter
  • Distance on plate = 8.5 cm to m = 0.085 meter
  • Charge = 14 nC = [tex]14\times10^9\;C[/tex]

Scientific data:

Vacuum permittivity = [tex]8.85 \times 10^{-12}\;F/m[/tex]

To determine the quantity of energy that is stored by the electric field between two square plates:

First of all, we would determine the area of the square plates.

[tex]Area = s^2\\\\Area = (0.085)^2\\\\Area = 7.225 \times 10^{-3} \;m^2[/tex]

Mathematically, the quantity of energy that is stored in an electric field between two square plates:

[tex]U=\frac{1}{2} \frac{q^2D}{A \epsilon_o}[/tex]

Where:

  • U is the energy stored in an electric field.
  • D is the distance.
  • q is the charge.
  • [tex]\epsilon_o[/tex] is the vacuum permittivity.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]U=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{(14\times 10^{-9})^2 \; \times \;0.0025}{7.225 \times 10^{-3} \;\times \;8.85 \times 10^{-12} }\\\\U=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{(1.96\times 10^{-16}) \; \times \;0.0025}{7.225 \times 10^{-3} \;\times \;8.85 \times 10^{-12} }\\\\U=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4.9\times 10^{-19} }{6.39 \times 10^{-14} }\\\\U = 3.83\times 10^{-6}\;Joules[/tex]
