    Calculate the maximum charge that can be stored in the capacitor

    I got the answer, but I have a question. Why do we use 3.00cm^2 instead of m^2

    Solving for Simple Harmonic Motion Phase Angle

    I understand how pacopag derived the velocity equation, the thing is, I haven't slept in 20 hrs, so I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed now. Thanks for the help guys. I''ll email my prof to double check that answer.

    Solving for Simple Harmonic Motion Phase Angle

    I tried that but it doesn't give me the right answer...1.18 rad, I need 1.96 rad

    Solving for Simple Harmonic Motion Phase Angle

    I don't think that works... V=dx/dt = x(t)=0.15cos\phi x'(t)=-0.15sin\phi x'(t)=accel.=(xm)(w^2) =(0.15)(19.478) =56.9m/s^2 sin\phi=56.9/.15 ---> does not work Am I doing something wrong?

    Solving for Simple Harmonic Motion Phase Angle

    Homework Statement A block, attached to a spring, moves in Simple Harmonic Motion on a horizontal frictionless table. The displacement from equilibrium is given by x = xm cos (ω t + φ ) where x is positive to the right of the equilibrium position. The frequency of the motion is 3.10 Hz and...

    Calculate the maximum charge that can be stored in the capacitor

    haha yes, yes i can. I had a feeling there was another, easier method. Thanks for you help

    Calculate the maximum charge that can be stored in the capacitor

    first off, id like to thank you for your help, I am learning a lot. the only formulas i have for a dielectric material are: E = 1/2(qV) = 1/2(q0)(V0/k) = E0/k C=q/v = qk/V0 = kC0

    Calculate the maximum charge that can be stored in the capacitor

    Is this right Total charge on plate is q= E*E0A -- gauss' law Plates area is, of course, 3.00

    Calculate the maximum charge that can be stored in the capacitor

    that formula is nowhere in our notes...hmm. I'm going to ask a buddy of mine for the solution, but if you don't mind could you post you method too. Surface charge density...is that a constant?
