Physics
CapacitorsA 6.30 μF capacitor that is initially uncharged is connected in series with a 4600 2 resistor and a 502 V emf source with negligible internal resistance.
A long time after the circuit is completed (after many time constants), what are the voltage drop across the capacitor and across the resistor?
A long time after the circuit is completed (after many time constants), what is the charge on the capacitor?

CapacitorsCell membranes (the walled enclosure around a cell) are typically about d= 7.7 nm thick. They are partially permeable to allow charged material to pass in and out, as needed. Equal but opposite charge densities build up on the inside and outside faces of such a membrane, and these charges prevent additional charges from passing through the cell wall. We can model a cell membrane as a parallel-plate capacitor, with the membrane itself containing proteins embedded in an organic material to give the membrane a dielectric constant of about 12. What is the capacitance per square centimeter of such a cell wall? Express your answer in microfarads per squared centimeter. In its normal resting state, a cell has a potential difference of 85 mV across its membrane. What is the electric field inside this membrane?

CapacitorsA capacitor consists of two 5.0-cm-diameter circular plates separated by 1.0 mm.
The plates are charged to 160 V, then the battery is removed. (0 = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N-m²)
Part A How much energy is stored in the capacitor? (Express your answer in joules to two significant figures.)
Part B How much work must be done to pull the plates apart to where the distance between them is 2.0 mm? (Express your answer in joules to two significant figures.)
