Chapter 25, Problem 67P
The voltage on a charged capacitor is monitored with a voltmeter whose resistance is 1.00 MΩ. The table below gives the meter reading as a function of time. Determine a function of the voltage which, when you plot it against time, should give a straight line. Make your plot, establish a best-lit line, and use it to determine the capacitance.
| Time(s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Voltage(V) | 15.0 | 10.3 | 6.36 | 3.78 | 2.43 |

(Recall that 'A' is the abbreviation for an ampere.) Use algebra and the equation at the top of the page
(P=V²/R) to show that the base SI units for watts equal the base SI units for volts²/ohms. You do not
need any numbers in this algebraic exercise. Instead, treat each of the base SI units (kg, m, s, A) as if it
were an algebra variable (like x or y). Start with the following equation and substitute the base SI units
for watt, volt, and ohm:
watt =
volt²

An electron is fired at a speed v = 3.1 x 10° m/s and at an angle 0, = 36.8° between two parallel
conducting plates as shown in the figure. If s 1.8 mm and the voltage difference between the plates is
AV = 98.8 V, determine how close, w, the electron will get to the bottom plate. Put your answer in
meters and include at 6 decimal places in your answer. Do not include units. The x-axis of the
coordinate system is in the middle of the parallel plate capacitor.
