A parallel plate capacitor has an air-filled gap. It is attached an EMF and charged it to charge Qo and voltage difference ΔVco. Two different experiments are done.
Case A: The gap between the capacitor plates is then filled with Teflon with the capacitor still connected directly across the terminals of the EMF.
Case B: The capacitor is disconnected from the EMF first before the gap in between the plates is then filled with Teflon.
Which statement is true after the Teflon is inserted into the gap?
1.) In case A, ΔVc is unchanged but Q increases to keep the net E field between the plates unchanged. In case B, Q is unchanged but ΔVc decreases due to a smaller net E field between the plates.
2.) In case A, Q is unchanged but ΔVc decreases due to a smaller net E field between the plates. In case B, ΔVc is unchanged but Q increases to keep the net E field between the plates unchanged.

In the figure, suppose the switch has been closed for a length of time sufficiently long for the capacitor to become fully charged. For this circuit, R1 = 12.0 kΩ, R2 = 15.0 kΩ, R3 = 3.000 kΩ, C = 10.0 μF , and emf = 9.00 V. Find (d) the potential differance across R2. (e) the charge on the capacitor.
You are working as a demonstration assistant for a physicsprofessor. He shows you the circuit in Figure P31.14, whichhe wants you to build for an upcoming class. The lightbulbis a household incandescent bulb that receives energy at therate of 40.0 W when operating at 120 V. It has a resistanceR1, which, for simplicity, we will assume is constant at alloperating voltages. The battery in the circuit has an emf of12.0 V. When the switch has been closed for a long time, thebulb glows dimly, since it is powered by only 12.0 V. Whenthe switch is opened, however, the bulb flashes brightly andthen gradually dims to darkness. Your professor wants youto determine two values: (a) the resistance R2 that is necessaryfor the bulb to initially flash, when the switch is opened,at the same brightness it would have if plugged into a 120-Vsocket; (b) the inductance L necessary to keep the currentin the lightbulb above 50.0% of its value when the switchis opened, for a time interval of 2.00 s after it is…
