question 37

Multiple Choice

The square plates of a 5000-pF parallel-plate capacitor measure 50 mm by 50 mm and are separated by a dielectric that is $0.23 \mathrm {~mm}$ thickand totally fills the region between the plates.

(?₀ = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N ? m²)

• A)0.40 mJ
• B)0.50 mJ
• C)0.60 mJ
• D)0.70 mJ
• E)0.80 mJ

Definitions:

Direct Evidence

Evidence that directly proves a fact without the need for any inference or presumption, such as testimony from a witness about what they personally observed.

Circumstantial Evidence

Evidence that relies on an inference to connect it to a conclusion of fact, such as a fingerprint at the scene of a crime, rather than direct evidence like eyewitness testimony.

Existence

The state or fact of being real, present, or in operation.

Circumstantial Evidence

Indirect evidence that implies a fact but does not directly prove it.
