After a parallel-plate capacitor has been fully charged by a battery, the battery is disconnected and the plate separation is increased. which of the following statements is correct? explain in detail why the staement is correct!

a) the energy stored in the capacitor increases.
b) the charge on the plates increases.
c) the charge on the plates decreases.
d) the potential difference between the plated decreases.
e) the energy stored in the capacitor decreases.

C

Explanation:

Using the two formulas q =CV and C =∈A/d where q = charge, C = Capacitance, V =Voltage, ∈=permittivity of dielectric, A = area of plates and d = distance between plates. Increasing the plate separation decreases the Capacitance thereby decreasing the charge also.

A) The energy stored in the capacitor increases.

Explanation:

For a capacitor fully charged by battery, when disconnected from battery and the plate separation is increased. The charge on the plate remain constant because there is no where for it to go( it has been disconnected from battery). But the capacitance would decrease, while also the potential difference would increase.

Q = CV 1

Q is the charge, C is capacitance, V is the potential difference.

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

E = 1/2 CV^2

E = 1/2 QV 2

E is the energy stored in the capacitor,

Therefore since Q remain constant and V increases when the distance between the plates is increased, then according to the equation 2 above the energy stored in the capacitor increases.

relativism, roughly put, is the view that truth and falsity, right and wrong, standards of reasoning, and procedures of justification are products of differing conventions and frameworks of assessment and that their authority is confined to the context giving rise to them. more precisely, “relativism” covers views which maintain that—at a high level of abstraction—at least some class of things have the properties they have (e.g., beautiful, morally good, epistemically justified) not simpliciter, but only relative to a given framework of assessment (e.g., local cultural norms, individual standards), and correspondingly, that the truth of claims attributing these properties holds only once the relevant framework of assessment is specified or supplied. relativists characteristically insist, furthermore, that if something is only relatively so, then there can be no framework-independent vantage point from which the matter of whether the thing in question is so can be established.

relativism has been, in its various guises, both one of the most popular and most reviled philosophical doctrines of our time. defenders see it as a harbinger of tolerance and the only ethical and epistemic stance worthy of the open-minded and tolerant. detractors dismiss it for its alleged incoherence and uncritical intellectual permissiveness. debates about relativism permeate the whole spectrum of philosophical sub-disciplines. from ethics to epistemology, science to religion, political theory to ontology, theories of meaning and even logic, philosophy has felt the need to respond to this heady and seemingly subversive idea. discussions of relativism often also invoke considerations relevant to the very nature and methodology of philosophy and to the division between the so-called “analytic and continental” camps in philosophy. and yet, despite a long history of debate going back to plato and an increasingly large body of writing, it is still difficult to come to an agreed definition of what, at its core, relativism is, and what philosophical import it has. this entry attempts to provide a broad account of the many ways in which “relativism” has been defined, explained, defended and criticized.

explanation:

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
