Question

Transcribed Image Text:Concern an electric dipole in an electric field. Clinical
studies suggest that an oscillating electric field can
disrupt rapidly dividing tumor cells. Dividing cells form a
structure called the mitotic spindle that is composed
primarily of microtubules. Microtubules have a large
electric dipole moment, and it is hypothesized that the
response of the microtubules to an oscillating electric
field interferes with cell division. (Figure 1) shows an
electric dipole in a nonuniform electric field.

- Choose the correct answer. Inserting a dielectric material between two charged parallel conducting plaes, originally separated by air and disconnected from a battery, will produce what effecr on the capacitor? Choices: increase charge decrease charge increase capacitance decrease capacitancearrow_forwardYou use an electrical generator with a hand crank to power a small radio. While cranking, you note the voltage reading measured across a capacitor that is used to store all the energy you're cranking out using your muscles. After an hour, you see the voltage reading is 2.2V. The capacitor has a capacitance of 3.5 x10-6F. You averaged 3.4 rotations on the crank every second. How much energy did your muscles donate to the radio's capacitor?
