We have a parallel plate capacitor with capacitance C =
45*10^-6 F and the plates are 1 mm apart. There is paper between the plates. The paper
has a Edis of 1.5*10^7 V/m. The maximum voltage field that the paper can withstand is
1.5*10^7 V/m. As the distance between the plates is just 1 mm, the maximum voltage that
can be applied between them is 1/1000 of 1.5*10^7


=>
Vmax = 1.50*10^4 V


We know that Q =
C*V


As C = 45*10^-6 F


Qmax =
C*Vmax


=> Qmax = 45*10^-6*1.50*10^4
C


=> Qmax = 67.50*10^-2
C


The electric field can be expressed in terms of N/C,
Qmax= 67.50*10^-2 C


Fmax =
1.5*10^7*67.5*10^-2


=> 10.12*10^5
N


=> 1.01
MN


The required values are Vmax = 1.50*10^4
V, Qmax = 67.50*10^-2 C and Fmax = 1.01 MN

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
