Question 41





The circuit in Figure P26.41 (page 804) consists of two identical, parallel metal plates connected to identical metal springs, a switch, and 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 mF. 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? (b) What is the spring constant for each spring?
