Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.2P
Let S = 100 mm2. d= 3 mm, and er = 12 for a parallel-plate capacitor, (a) Calculate the capacitance, (b) After connecting a 6-V battery across the capacitor, calculate E, D, Q, and the total stored electrostatic energy, (c) With, the source still connected, the dielectric is carefully withdrawn from between the plates. With the dielectric gone, recalculate E, D, Q, and the energy stored in the capacitor. (d) If the charge and energy Found in part c are less than, the values found in part b (which you should have discovered), what became of the missing charge and energy? Assume in both cases that the dielectric itself carries no charge on removal.

QUESTION 5
A 20 ohms resistor is connected in series with a capacitor of 0.01 farad and an emf in volts given
by 40e-3¹ +20e-6. Assuming that the charge and current on the capacitor are zero at t=0,
determine the charge and current at any time.
A thin metallic foil is placed between the plates of a flat capacitor parallel to them. How does this affect capacity? What if you join a plate with a wire?
.i. In a parallel plate capacitor, the cross
sectional area of the plates are doubled and all
other parameters remains the same. The ratio
of Final capacitance to initial capacitance is
found to be:
