choose the correct alternative from the clues give...

Question: Choose the correct alternative from the clues given at the end of the each statement:
(a) The size of the atom in Thomsons model is .......... the atomic size in Rutherfords model. (much greater than/no different from/much less than.)
(b) In the ground state of .......... electrons are in stable equilibrium, while in .......... electrons always experience a net force. (Thomsons model/ Rutherfords model.)
(c) A classical atom based on .......... is doomed to collapse. (Thomsons model/ Rutherfords model.)
(d) An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a .......... but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in .......... (Thomsons model/ Rutherfords model.)
(e) The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in .......... (Rutherfords model/both the models.)

Answer:

(a) The sizes of the atoms taken in Thomson’s model and Rutherford’s model have the same order of magnitude.

(b) In the ground state of Thomson’s model, the electrons are in stable equilibrium. However, in Rutherford’s model, the electrons always experience a net force.

(c) A classical atom based on Rutherford’s model is doomed to collapse.

(d) An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in Thomson’s model, but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in Rutherford’s model.

(e) The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in both the models.

What is the area of the plates of a 2 F parallel plate capacitor, given that the separation between the plates is 0.5 cm? [You will realize from your answer why ordinary capacitors are in the range of µF or less. However, electrolytic capacitors do have a much larger capacitance (0.1 F) because of very minute separation between the conductors.]
