Question
A parallel-plate capacitor has plate area $20cm^2$, plate separation 1.0mm and a dielectric slab of dielectric constant 5.0 filling up the space between the plates. This capacitor is joined to a battery of emf 6.0V through a $100\text{k}\Omega$ resistor. Find the energy of the capacitor $8.9\mu\text{s}$ after the connections are made.

Answer

$\text{A} = 20\text{cm}^2, \text{d} = 1\text{mm, K} = 5, \text{e} = 6\text{V}$$\text{R}=100\times10^3\Omega,\text{t}=8.9\times10^{-5}\text{s}$
$\text{C}=\frac{\text{KE}_0\text{A}}{\text{d}}=\frac{5\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times20\times10^{-4}}{1\times10^{-3}}$
$=\frac{10\times8.85\times10^{-3}\times10^{-12}}{10^{-3}}=88.5\times10^{-12}$
$\text{q}=\text{EC}\Big(1-\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{RC}}}\Big)$
$=6\times88.5\times10^{-12}\Big(1-\text{e}^{\frac{-89\times10^{-6}}{88.5\times10^{-12}\times10^4}}\Big)=530.97$
Energy $=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{500.97\times530}{88.5\times10^{-12}}$
$=\frac{530.97\times530.97}{88.5\times2}\times10^{12}$

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45° with the horizontal, it takes time T. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it is seen to take time pT, where p is some number greater than 1. Calculate the co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.
A circular disc of mass $10kg$ is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be $1.5s$. The radius of the disc is 15cm. Determine the torsional spring constant of the wire. (Torsional spring constant $\alpha$ is defined by the relation $\text{J}=-\alpha\theta,$ where J is the restoring couple and $\theta$ the angle of twist).
