A parallel plate capacitor has plates with equal and opposite charges ±Q , which are initially separated by a distance d . The capacitor is not connected to a battery. Then, the plates are moved farther apart so they are now separated by a distance 2d and also a dielectric with dielectric constant κ=2 that fills the entire space in the gap is inserted. What happens to the stored energy U and the potential difference between the plates ΔV=V+−V− after...

A parallel-plate capacitor with only air between the plates is charged by connecting it to a battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, without any of the charge leaving the plates. A voltmeter reads 44.0 V when placed across the capacitor. When a dielectric is inserted between the plates, completely filling the space, the voltmeter reads 14.5 V . What is the dielectric constant of this material? What will the voltmeter read if the dielectric is now pulled...

A parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance CC = 12.5 pFpF when the volume between the plates is filled with air. The plates are circular, with radius 3.00 cmcm. The capacitor is connected to a battery and a charge of magnitude 25.0 pCpC goes onto each plate. With the capacitor still connected to the battery, a slab of dielectric is inserted between the plates, completely filling the space between the plates. After the dielectric has been inserted the charge on each plate...
