1. Identical capacitors A and B are fully charged by the same
battery. Capacitor A is disconnected from the battery while
capacitor B remains connected to it. Identical dielectric slabs are
inserted between the plates of the capacitors. Which of the
following is true?
2. A parallel plate capacitor (shown) is fully charged and
remains connected to the battery. A conducting plate is inserted
into the gap between the two plates, partially filling the gap.

Experiment 7 - The Resistor Capacitor Circuit Learning Objectives: Understand the short and long time behavior of circuits containing capacitors. Understand the and the mathematical relationshin between the current through the circuit as a function time, resistance, capacitance, and potential difference 1. Understanding the models for the behavior of a capacitor in a circuit A capacitor is a device that stores energy in a circuit as potential energy in an electric field. In the simple circuit drawn on the night,...
v3. At what distance from a point charge of 4.0 nC does the electric field have a magnitude of 4.0 N/C? (3.0 m) 4. Two small identical conducting spheres are placed with their centers 0.30 m apart. One is given a charge of 1 0 x10* c other a charge of -3.0 x10 C. (a) Find the electrostatic force exerted on one sphere by the other. (3.0 x 10"N, attraction) the (b) e spheres are connected by a conducting wire....
