1. A 6.0-μF air capacitor is connected across a 100-V battery. After the battery fully charges the capacitor, the capacitor is immersed in oil (dielectric constant = 4.5). How much additional charge flows from the battery, which remained connected to the battery?. (5 points)

ΔQ = 2.1 x 10^(-3) C

Explanation:

The initial charge stored on the capacitor is given by;

Q = C_o•V

Where;

C_o is initial capacitance

V is potential difference across capacitor.

From the question,

C_o = 6.0-μF = 6 x 10^(-6) F

V = 100 V

Thus,

Q = 6 x 10^(-6) x 100 = 6 x 10^(-4) C

Now, the charge stored in the capacitor when inserting the dielectric is given by the formula;

Q = k•Q_o

Where k is the dielectric constant.

Thus,

Q = 4.5 x 6 x 10^(-4) = 2.7 x 10^(-3) C

Thus, the additional charge would be;

ΔQ = Q - Q_o = 2.7 x 10^(-3) - 6 x 10^(-4)

ΔQ = 2.1 x 10^(-3) C

probably not the "magnets"in the magnet, so to speak, are thought to be electrons orbiting in shells. vurrent loops two sides to the loop

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
