Where and how was the the energy stored before it was transferred in pumping up the tire?

I assume you mean TIRE. The energy is usually stored up in whoever PUMPS UP the tire, and then you go lie down, to RE-CHARGE your energy cells!


It is easier for electrons to travel in humid air than dry airhow does this explain the fact that you see the effect of static electricity in cool dry weather?

In humid weather, static charge that builds up, for example, when you walk across a carpet, leaks off as fast as it is generated. So very little of it, if any, gets stored in your body. In cool dry weather, especially indoors if the indoor humidity is very low, static charge can not leak off as readily, and gets stored in your body as if your body was a condenser or capacitor. When you come in contact with something that is grounded, i.e., has a path to the earth or some conductive platform you are standing on, the stored charge leaps off as a spark. Your body is discharging the static electricity that it built up and stored. This is precisely what happens with a cloud and lightning. Only difference is that your body might build up a charge of 10,000 volts (with very little current, that's why it's not lethal) and a spark would jump a quarter inch from your finger tip to the object you are about to touch. In comparison, a cloud might build up a charge of several million volts, enough to break down the air in a path that is hundreds of feet to the ground.

What is the effect of changing the distance between the plates of a capacitor on the charge stored on the plates?

Changing the distance between the plates of a capacitor affects the charge stored on the plates. As the distance decreases, the capacitance increases, leading to a higher charge stored on the plates. Conversely, increasing the distance between the plates decreases the capacitance and results in a lower charge stored on the plates.


What is the relationship between the electric potential in a capacitor and the amount of charge stored on its plates?

The electric potential in a capacitor is directly proportional to the amount of charge stored on its plates. This means that as the amount of charge stored on the plates increases, the electric potential also increases.


What is the relationship between the potential difference across a capacitor and the amount of charge stored on it?

The potential difference across a capacitor is directly proportional to the amount of charge stored on it. This means that as the potential difference increases, the amount of charge stored on the capacitor also increases.


What is the relationship between the voltage drop across capacitors and the amount of charge stored in them?

The voltage drop across a capacitor is directly proportional to the amount of charge stored in it. This means that as the charge stored in a capacitor increases, the voltage drop across it also increases.


What is the maximum charge that can be stored on the capacitor?

The maximum charge that can be stored on a capacitor is determined by the capacitance of the capacitor and the voltage applied to it. The formula to calculate the maximum charge is Q CV, where Q is the charge, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage.

What is the equation that relates the energy stored in a battery to its voltage and charge capacity?

The equation that relates the energy stored in a battery to its voltage and charge capacity is: Energy (in joules) Voltage (in volts) x Charge Capacity (in coulombs).


Suppose a parallel plate capacitor (with capacitance) is connected to a battery, what is the relationship between the charge stored on the capacitor and the potential difference across its plates?

The relationship between the charge stored on a capacitor and the potential difference across its plates is that the charge stored on the capacitor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its plates. This relationship is described by the formula Q CV, where Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, C is the capacitance of the capacitor, and V is the potential difference across the plates.
