Document Summary

Ggrb02 exam study guide: doreen massey"s elaboration of global sense of place. Answer: doreen massey states that instead of thinking of places as areas with boundaries around, they can be imagined as articulated moments in networks of social relations and understandings. Global sense of place includes consciousness of its links with the wider world, which integrates in a positive way to the global and the local. The point here is that there are real relations with real content, economic, political, cultural, between any local place and the wider world in which it is set. Doreen massey gives an example of how it is not possible to understand the inner city , for instance its loss of jobs, the decline of manufacturing employment there, by looking only at the inner city. We have to consider the inner city in its wider geographical context: place is not a motionless concept it is a process.

I am attempting to answer question 10 from this sheet:

To understand the meaning of capacitance and ways of calculating capacitance.

When a positive charge q is placed on a conductor that is insulated from ground, an electric field emanates from the conductor to ground, and the conductor will have a nonzero potential V relative to ground. If more charge is placed on the conductor, this voltage will increase proportionately. The ratio of charge to voltage is called the capacitance C of this conductor: C=q/V.

Capacitance is one of the central concepts in electrostatics, and specially constructed devices called capacitors are essential elements of electronic circuits. In a capacitor, a second conducting surface is placed near the first (they are often called electrodes), and the relevant voltage is the voltage between these two electrodes.

This tutorial is designed to help you understand capacitance by assisting you in calculating the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, which consists of two plates each of area A separated by a small distanced with air or vacuum in between. In figuring out the capacitance of this configuration of conductors, it is important to keep in mind that the voltage difference is the line integral of the electric field between the plates.

Assume that charge -q is placed on the top plate, and +q is placed on the bottom plate. What is the magnitude of the electric field E between the plates?
What is the voltage V between the plates of the capacitor?
