The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the capacitance of the capacitor with the dielectric and then find the energy stored when a potential of 150 volts is applied. ### Step 1: Convert the given dimensions to SI units - The radius of the plates is given as 8 cm. We convert this to meters: \[ r = 8 \text{ cm} = 0.08 \text{ m} \] - The distance between the plates is given as 1 mm. We convert this to meters: \[ d = 1 \text{ mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the area of the circular plates The area \( A \) of a circular plate is given by the formula: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ A = \pi (0.08)^2 = \pi \times 0.0064 \approx 0.0201 \text{ m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Use the formula for capacitance with a dielectric The capacitance \( C \) of a capacitor with a dielectric is given by: \[ C = k \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} \] Where: - \( k = 6 \) (dielectric constant) - \( \epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ F/m} \) (permittivity of free space) Substituting the values: \[ C = 6 \times \frac{(8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \times (0.0201)}{1 \times 10^{-3}} \] Calculating this: \[ C = 6 \times \frac{(8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \times (0.0201)}{1 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 1.068 \times 10^{-9} \text{ F} \text{ (or Farads)} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the energy stored in the capacitor The energy \( U \) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 \] Where \( V = 150 \text{ V} \). Substituting the values: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times (1.068 \times 10^{-9}) \times (150)^2 \] Calculating \( V^2 \): \[ 150^2 = 22500 \] Now substituting back into the energy formula: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times (1.068 \times 10^{-9}) \times 22500 \approx 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ J} \text{ (or Joules)} \] ### Final Answers - Capacitance \( C \approx 1.068 \times 10^{-9} \text{ F} \) - Energy \( U \approx 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ J} \)
