Oscilloscopes have parallel metal plates inside them to deflect the electron beam. These plates are called the deflecting plates. Typically, they are squares 3.0 cm on a side and separated by 5.0 mm, with very thin air in between.

What is the capacitance of these deflecting plates and hence of the oscilloscope. (This capacitance can sometimes have an effect on the circuit you are trying to study and must be taken into consideration in your calculations.)

The capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF .

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance of the capacitor in terms of area and distance is as follows;

$C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}$

Here, C is the capacitance, A is the area, d is the distance and $\varepsilon _{0}$ is the absolute permittivity.

Convert the side of the square from cm to m.

s= 3.0 cm

s= 0.030 m

Calculate the area of the square.

$A= s_^{2}$

Put s= 0.030 m.

$A=(0.030)_^{2}$

$A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2}$

Convert distance from mm to m.

d= 5.0 mm

$d=5\times10^{-3}m$

Calculate the capacitance of the deflecting plates.

$C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}$

Put $d=5\times10^{-3}m$ , $A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2}$ and $\varepsilon _{0}=8.85\times 10^{-12}Fm^{-1}$ .

$C=\frac{(8.85\times 10^{-12})(9\times10^{-4})}{5\times10^{-3}}$

$C=1.59\times 10^{-12}F$

C=1.59 pF

Therefore, the capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF .

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)
