A parallel-plate capacitor is charged by a battery and then the battery is removed and a dielectric of constant K is used to fill the gap between the plates. Inserting the dielectric changes the energy stored by a factor of

Explanation:

Battery is removed so its charge stored  becomes fixed .

Energy of capacitor E₁ = Q² / 2C

When dielectric is inserted , the capacity of the capacitor is increased to KC .

Charge on it still remains the same ie Q

So its new energy

E₂ = Q² / 2 KC

E₂ / E₁ = 1 / K

E₂ = E₁ / K

Change in energy

= E₂ - E₁

= E₁ / K - E₁

= E₁ [ (1 / K)  - 1 ]

Factor by which energy is changed

= [ (1 / K)  - 1 ] .

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
