The circuit in Figure P26.38 consists of two identical parallel metal plates connected by identical metal springs to a 100-V battery. With the switch open, the plates are uncharged, are separated by a distance d = 8.00 mm, and have a capacitance C = 2.00 μF When the switch is closed, the distance between the plates decreases by a factor of 0.500
(a) How much charge collects on each plate and
(b) what is the spring constant for each spring? (Suggestion: Use the result of Problem 37.) |
