Homework Statement


A capacitor has a capacitance of 2.5x10-8F. In charging process, electrons are removed from one plate and placed on the other plate. When the potential difference between the plates is 450v, hoow many electrons have been transferred?


Homework Equations


C=qV


The Attempt at a Solution


C=qV
q=C/V
q=2.5x10-8/450

So far so good, now how would you convert from a charge q to a number of electrons? (Hint: what's the charge of one electron?)
 


charge of one electron is approximately 1.6x10^-19C. divide q by the charge for one electron.
 

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
