At a given instant, a 2.2 A current flows in the wires connected to a parallel-plate capacitor. What is the rate at which the electric field is changing between the plates if the square plates are 2.0 cm on a side? Express your answer using two significant figures

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in wire I =2.2A

Capacitor plate dimension is 2cm by 2cm

s=2cm=2/100 = 0.02m

Rate at which electric field Is changing dE/dt?

The current in the wires must also be the displacement current in the capacitor. We find the rate at which the electric field is changing from

ID = ε0•A•dE/dt

Where ε0 is a constant

ε0= 8.85×10^-12C²/Nm²

Area of the square plate is

A =s² =0.02² = 0.0004m²

Then,

Make dE/dt the subject of formula

dE/dt = ID/ε0A

dE/dt = 2.2 / (8.85×10^-12 ×4×10^-4)

dE/dt = 6.215×10^14 V/m-s

Or

dE/dt = 6.215×10^14 N/C.s

The rate at which the electric field is changing between the plates is 6.215×10^14 N/C.s

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
