Question

will rate best answer, thank you

A parallel plate capacitor with plate separation d is connected to a battery. The capacitor is fully charged to Q Coulombs and a voltage of V. (C is the capacitance and U is the stored energy.) Answer the following questions regarding the capacitor charged by a battery. For each statement below, select True or False. After being disconnected from the battery, increasing d increases V. With the capacitor connected to the battery, inserting a dielectric with K will increase C. After being disconnected from the battery, inserting a dielectric with K will increase U. After being disconnected from the battery, inserting a dielectric with K will increase V. After being disconnected from the battery, increasing d increases U. After being disconnected from the battery, decreasing d increases C.

Explanation / Answer


a)

true,

because V=q/C

V=q/(eo*A/d)

V=(q*d/eo*A)

here if d increases then V increases


b)

true,

because

C'=k*C


c)

False

here,

U=q^2/2C and U'=q^2/2C'

U'=q^2/2*(kC)

U'=U/k

U decreases


d)

false

v=q/C and v'=q/C'

v'=q/C'

=q/kC

v'=v/K

here, v' decreases


e)

true,

U=1/2*(q*V)

if d increases v increases

then U increases


f)

True,

C=eo*A/d
