An empty capacitor is capable of storing 1.0 × 10-4 j of energy when connected to a certain battery. if the distance between the plates is halved and then filled with a dielectric (κ = 4.3), how much energy could this modified capacitor store when connected to the same battery?

Explanation:

Energy stored in a capacitor

= 1/2 C₁V²

capacity of a capacitor

c = εK A / d

k is dielectric and d is distance between plates .

When  the distance between the plates is halved and then filled with a dielectric (κ = 4.3)

capacity becomes 4.3  x 2 times

New capacity

C₂ = 8.6 C₁

Energy of modified capacitor

1/2 C₂ V²= 1/2 x 8.6 c x V²

Energy becomes

8.6 times.

Energy stored = 8.6 x 10⁻⁴ J

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
