A capacitor of capacitance C is charged, and it stores U electrical energy. (After the charging the battery is removed.) Then another neutral capacitor isconnected to the charged capacitor in parallel.

In the diagram, an isolated charged parallel-plate capacitor holding charge Q isarranged horizontally, with one plate flush with a frictionless surface. The capacitor hascapacitance Co when there is no dielectric inserted. The dielectric block (mass m, dielectricconstant k) inside the capacitor is attached to a hanging block (mass M) by a massless stringrouted over a frictionless pulley. The length of the capacitor plates and dielectric block is Lalong the direction of motion. Assume there is no friction between the dielectric and thecapacitor plates.a. The blocks are initially at rest and the dielectric is initially completely inside thecapacitor. Use conservation of mechanical energy to determine the speed v of thefalling block at the moment the dielectric block completely exits the capacitor plates(in other words, determine a formula for the speed in terms of the variousparameters that have been defined as algebraic variables).b. Use your result from part a to find the minimum mass…

Instead of converting kinetic energy into thermal energy by usingconventional brakes, one can try to convert it into electrical energy bymeans of a generator. Consider a capacitor, which can store the kineticenergy of a car that is slowed down from 200 km/h to 0 km/h. Assume thatthe voltage may not exceed 1 kV. Which area, which dimensions of thecapacitor are required using a 5 nm gap between the plates and a dielectricmaterial with e=5? Recharge the battery (400 V,100 kWh) of an electric car through a copper cable (10 m length, 3 mm diameter). Keep theohmic losses below 1 kW to avoid cable meltdown. How long does the charging take? Which electrical currents are flowing?
