In the circuit in the figure, two identical parallel metallic plates, with identical etallic arcIt has been connected to 100 V battery. Switch on position, plates unloaded,the gap between them is d = 4 mm and the surface of one plate is 1778 m2.When the switch is turned off, the distance between the plates is reduced by 0.5 times. EachWhat is the spring constant of a spring in units of Newton / meter? Eo = 9 x 10-12 C2 / Nm2
Calculating the Cost Effectiveness of Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL)If the cost of electricity in your area is 12 cents per kWh, what is the total cost (capital plus operation) of using a 60-W incandescent bulb for 1000 hours (the lifetime of that bulb) if the bulb cost 25 cents? (b) If we replace this bulb with a compact fluorescent light that provides the same light output, but at one-quarter the wattage, and which costs $1.50 but lasts 10 times longer (10,000 hours), what will that total cost be?
