Question
Download Solution PDFThe voltage sensitivities of Barium Titanate and Quartz are respectively 12 × 10-3 Vm / N and 50 × 10-3 Vm / N. their respective permittivities are 12.5 × 10-9 F / m and 40.6 × 10-12 F / m. What are their charge sensitivities?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe charge sensitivity of a material is defined as the multiplication of voltage sensitivity and its permittivity.
Charge sensitivity = Voltage sensitivity × permittivity
Voltage sensitivity of Barium titanate, Vsen1 = 12 × 10-3 Vm / N
Voltage sensitivity of Quartz, Vsen2 = 50 × 10-3 Vm / N
Permittivity of Barium titanate, ε1 = 12.5 × 10-9 F / m
Permittivity of Quartz, ε2 = 40.6 × 10-12 F / m
Charge sensitivity = Voltage sensitivity × permittivity
For barium Titanate,
Charge sensitivity = Vsen1 × ε1
= 12 × 10-3 × 12.5 × 10-9
= 150 × 10-12 C / N
= 150 pC / N
For Quartz, charge sensitivity = Vsen2 × ε2
= 50 × 10-3 × 40.6 × 10-12
= 2030 × 10-15 C / N
= 2.03 pC / N
