Calculating the Effects of Removing Dielectric from Parallel Plate Capacitor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the effects of removing a dielectric from a parallel plate capacitor with a capacitance of 10 microfarads and a dielectric constant of 4.0, charged to 2.0V. Key calculations involve determining the new capacitance, potential difference, charge on the plates, and energy stored after the dielectric is removed. The user expresses confusion about the problem's requirements and the inclusion of LaTeX codes that are not rendering correctly. The thread highlights the need for clarity in presenting physics problems and the importance of proper notation. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately calculating the capacitor's behavior post-dielectric removal.

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance 10microfarads has the space between filled with material with
(dielectric constant k)= 4.0. The capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 2.0V . With the capacitor connected
to the battery the dielectric is removed.
1. The capacitance is F.
2. The potential difference across the capacitor is V .
3. The charge on the plates is C.
4. The energy stored in the capacitor is J.

F=C/V
\kappa= E_{}/E

I don't get what this is asking for or how to carry it out

I don't see a question. You seem to have included some weird latex codes that only produce a
large grey square while trying to write k = \frac {\epsilon} { \epsilon_0}
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
