Extra information on capacitors

Q:1
Why there is low potential difference between the two conductors of a capacitor?
Ans. As we know,
             C = q/V
So, for large capacitance of a capacitor and large amount of charge storing in a capacitor, V must be low.

Also, in practicality if 'V' is large it will be result to a strong electric field between the conductors which can ionize the medium between the conductors resulting to acceleration in the charges towards the opposite charges and the charges inside the capacitor can fully or partially leaks away.

Q:2
What is a capacitor?
Ans. A capacitor is an energy storing device which stores energy in the form of charge hold inside the capacitor.

Q:3
What is dielectric strength?
Ans. It is the maximum amount of electric field of a dielectric medium so that the medium will not ionize. For example,
dielectric strength of air = 3 × 10⁶ N/C.

Q:4
List some uses of capacitors?
Ans. Uses of capacitors -
1. Capacitors are used to provide supporting torque in various rotating appliances like fans, coolers, etc.

2. The main use of capacitors is for storing energy to provide sudden energy flash in circuits.

3. Capacitors are used in timing circuits because of their periodic charging and discharging. For example, the beep beep sound in alarm clocks is due to capacitors in the internal circuit.

Q:5
What are the common units of capacitance?
Ans. The common units of capacitance are - micro farad(μF), nano farad(nF), pico farad(pF) because 1 Farad is a very very big unit of capacitance.

Age problems (for practice) | class 10 mathematics | advguruji | Physics Advocate

Linear Equations Q1. Ten years ago, father was twelve times as old as his son and ten years hence, he will be twice as old as his son will be. Find their present ages. Ans. Present age of father = 34 years          Present age of son = 12 years Q2. Three years ago, Priya's mother was six times older than her. Four years from now, Priya's mother will be one year older than thrice her age. Find the present age of Priya and her mother. Ans.  Present age of Priya = 8 years       Present age of mother = 33 years Q3. Five years ago, Rakesh was five times younger than his mother. Ten years from now, his age will be half of his mother's age. Find the present age of Rakesh and his mother. Ans. Present age of Rakesh = 10 years      Present age of mother = 30 years Q4.           (equation in one variable) A  is elder to  B  by two years. A's father  F  is twice as old as  A .  ...

Energy of electron in nth orbit of Hydrogen atom | Numericals by Physics Advocate

Q1. How much energy is needed to relocate an electron from first excited state to fourth excited state in an Hydrogen atom? Also, find the type of light needed in this process. Q2. Find the wavelength of light released when an electron jumped from 4th excited state to ground state in an Hydrogen atom. Also, name the series. Q3. Find the wavenumber of light released when an electron jumped from 5th excited state in bracket series (in H - atom). www.advguruji.blogspot.com Q4.

What if we can contact Aliens ? by Physics Advocate/advguruji

Before the beginning, first discuss about aliens. Aliens are those creatures which do not belong to our world. For more than 50 years we are searching for aliens and we have found nothing. Are they ignoring us? Now a question comes to our mind. Can we contact aliens? The answer is: most probably NO. But why? Because first we have to find that type of planets (or natural satellites) which can support life. This is not an easy task. Also, a planet which can support life is not enough. Why? Because life can exist in various forms. One form is unicellular organisms. For example, in our solar system it is believed that Titan (Saturn's moon) can support unicellular life. But the disadvantage is we cannot contact them by our communication methods. But yes, there is a high possibility in future that a rover mission can take some samples of the unicellular or may be small multicellular organisms and send the data to Earth. Now comes the interesting part. If a planet is supporti...
