This is a problem was thinking about.

If I have a capacitor and fill it with a dialectric of some dialectric constant (the dialectric fits perfectly and is mounted via a frictionless bearing so it can move freely). How fast does it move?

How fast does what move? Could you please be more specific and detailed about what you are thinking about?
