    Why is the Volume Distribution of Charge Described Differently in the Book?

    Homework Statement A rod of dielectric material is spun about it's axis with angular velocity \omega. A uniform magnetic field B exists in a direction along the axis of the bar. Determine a charge distribution which produces the same electric field as does the rotating rod. The electric...

    The potential difference in a capacitor with dielectric

    So what they mean by isolating the circuit from the battery is that it still remains a closed circuit, hence we have to take both capacitors into account when solving this?
