Answer:
pressure and temperature (assuming volume is constant)
Explanation:
Shear stress created the San Andreas Fault in Southern California. It is an example of a <span>reverse fault.</span>
You have effectively got two capacitors in parallel. The effective capacitance is just the sum of the two.
Cequiv = ε₀A/d₁ + ε₀A/d₂ Take these over a common denominator (d₁d₂)
Cequiv = ε₀d₂A + ε₀d₁A / (d₁d₂) Cequiv = ε₀A( (d₁ + d₂) / (d₁d₂) )
B) It's tempting to just wave your arms and say that when d₁ or d₂ tends to zero C -> ∞, so the minimum will occur in the middle, where d₁ = d₂
But I suppose we ought to kick that idea around a bit.
(d₁ + d₂) is effectively a constant. It's the distance between the two outer plates. Call it D.
C = ε₀AD / d₁d₂ We can also say: d₂ = D - d₁ C = ε₀AD / d₁(D - d₁) C = ε₀AD / d₁D - d₁²
Differentiate with respect to d₁
dC/dd₁ = -ε₀AD(D - 2d₁) / (d₁D - d₁²)² {d2C/dd₁² is positive so it will give us a minimum} For max or min equate to zero.
-ε₀AD(D - 2d₁) / (d₁D - d₁²)² = 0 -ε₀AD(D - 2d₁) = 0 ε₀, A, and D are all non-zero, so (D - 2d₁) = 0 d₁ = ½D
In other words when the middle plate is halfway between the two outer plates, (quelle surprise) so that
d₁ = d₂ = ½D so
Cmin = ε₀AD / (½D)² Cmin = 4ε₀A / D Cmin = 4ε₀A / (d₁ + d₂)
I’m pretty sure the answer is A
