Consider the current flowing through bulb 1. In each situation, does the current through bulb 1 increase, decrease, or stay the same.
1. All switches are closed, then switch 1 is opened.
2. All switches are closed, then...
For 2, would the charge decrease because the electric field decreases (due to the dielectric).
and for 4,
would the potential increase, because the capitance would increase (C is proportional to K), and the energy is 0.5C(V)2
Homework Statement
Fig. 1 and 2 show a dielectric slab being inserted between the plates of one of two identical capacitors, capacitor 2. Select the correct answer to each of the statements below (enter I for `increases', D for `decreases', or S for `stays the same').
1. In Fig. 2...
Homework Statement
The diagram shows a parallel plate capacitor with plate area A and spacing d. The capacitor can be connected to a battery of potential difference V by closing the switch. Assume d² << A.
1. The force on plate 1 due to plate 2 is F = Q²/(4πε0d²) î, where Q is the...
1. Homework Statement
A tire of radius 32.5 cm has a surface that is conducting. A charge of 4.89×10-8 C is then placed on the surface. The potential on the tire's surface is 1.35E+03 V. Later, suppose that some of the air is let out of the tire, so that the radius shrinks to 10.5 cm, the new...

So for 1, the distance has no effect on the electric field.
and for #2, I copied and pasted the question exactly, I too felt like something was missing.
