A parallel plate capacitor with plate area \(A\) and plate separation \(d = 2\) m has a capacitance of \(4\mu F\). The new capacitance of the system if half of the space between them is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant \(K = 3\) (as shown in the figure) will be:
A gas can be taken from A to B via two different processes ACB and ADB. When path ACB is used, \( 60 J \) of heat flows into the system and \( 30 J \) of work is done by the system. If path ADB is used, the work done by the system is \( 10 J \). The heat flow into the system in path ADB is:
Minerals are the naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substances. They are having a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure, hardness and color. For example, copper pyrite, calamine, etc.
Impurities in an ore are called gauge. The removal of a gauge from the ore is called concentration ore.
Several steps are involved in the extraction of pure metal from ores. Major steps are as follows –
