The energy dissipated in the resistor ${U_k} = \frac{U}{k}$

The energy dissipated in the resistor ${U_k} = kU$

Explanation:

In order to gain a good understanding of the solution above it is necessary to understand that the concept required to solve the question is energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor.

Initially, take the first case. In that, according to the formula for energy stored in parallel plate capacitor with the dielectric inserted between the two plates, find the energy stored. Then, find the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor when no dielectric is present. Then, write the equation of energy stored in the capacitor with the dielectric present in the form of the energy stored in the capacitor without the dielectric present. The equation must not be in the form of voltage as battery is removed in this case.

For part B, use the equation of the energy dissipated in the resistor. Write it in the form of the equation for energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor without dielectric in it. The equation must be in the form of voltage as battery is kept connected. Looking at the fundamentals

The energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor with the dielectric is given by,

$U _k = \frac{1}{2} \frac{q ^2}{kC}$

Here, the energy stored in the capacitor will be equal to the energy dissipated in the resistor. In this equation, Uk is the energy dissipated in the resistor, q is charge, k is the dielectric constant, and C is the capacitance.

Now, the equation of the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor without dielectric is,

$U= \frac{1}{2} \frac{q ^2}{C}$

In this equation, U is the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor without dielectric, q is charge, and C is the capacitance.

For part B, the battery is still connected. Thus, the equation q = CV is used to modify the above equation.

Thus, the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor with the dielectric is given by,

$U_ k = \frac{1}{2} \frac{k ^{2} C^ 2 V ^2}{kC} \\\\= \frac{1}{2} kCV ^2$

In this equation, is the energy dissipated in the resistor, V is voltage, k is the dielectric constant, and C is the capacitance.

The equation of the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor without dielectric is,

$U= \frac{1}{2} \frac{C^ 2 V ^2}{C} \\\\= \frac{1}{2} CV ^2$

In this equation, U is the energy dissipated in the resistor, V is voltage, k is the dielectric constant, and C is the capacitance.

(A)

The equation for energy dissipated in the resistor is,

$U _k = \frac{1}{2} \frac{q ^2}{kC}$

Substitute $U = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{q^2}}}{C}$ in the equation of ${U_k}$

$U _k = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{k} )\frac{q ^2}{C} \\\\= (\frac{1}{k} ) \frac{q^2}{C}\\\\ U_{k} = \frac{U}{k}$

Note :

If the resistance relates to the capacitor, the energy stored in the capacitor is dissipated through the resistance. Thus, by substituting the equation of U, the expression is found out.

(B)

The equation for energy dissipated in the resistor is

$U_{k} = \frac{1}{2}kCV^2$

Here, V is voltage in the circuit.

Substitute $U =\frac{1}{2} CV^2$ in the equation of ${U_k}$

So,

$U_{k} = \frac{1}{2} kCV^2\\$

$= k(\frac{1}{2} CV^2)$

$U_{k} = kU$

An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars is higher than that of women drivers. the company took a random sample of 27 cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. another sample of 18 cars driven by women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. assume that the speeds at which all men and all women drive cars on this highway are both approximately normally distributed with unknown and unequal population standard deviations.
