A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed by filling the space between two square plates with a block of three dielectric materials, as shown in the figure below. You may assume that ℓ ≫ d. A parallel-plate capacitor is comprised of two square plates with sides of length ℓ and separation distance d. There are three dielectric materials in the space between the capacitor plates. A material with length ℓ⁄2, height d, and dielectric constant ?1 fills the left half of the space. A material with length ℓ⁄2, height d⁄2, and dielectric constant ?2 fills the top right quarter of the space.

A capacitor is attached to a battery. It has initial capacitance Co, voltage Vo, charge Qo, and energy Uo. Let's put some dielectric material of dielectric constant K in there in two different ways. For each case, figure out the following for the resulting "new" capacitor: C, V, Q, and U, in terms of the old value and K. The capacitor is left attached to the battery. A slab of dielectric material with K=3 is inserted into the capacitor without otherwise disturbing it. In terms of the initial values, what are the new values? The capacitor is disconnected from the battery after it is charged up to Qo.

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.
