Question

Which statements are true for two oppositely charged, isolated parallel plates: C=capacitance, U=stored energy (Q and -Q = charge on the plates). Note: Isolated plates can not lose their charge.

True False  Inserting a dielectric increases C.
True False  Inserting a dielectric decreases U.
True False  When the distance is halved, Q stays the same.
True False  When the distance is doubled, C increases.
True False  When the distance is doubled, U increases.
True False  Inserting a dielectric increases Q.
True False  Increasing the distance increases the Electric field.
