Question

A fully charged parallel-plate capacitor remains connected to abattery while you slide a dielectric between the plates. Do thefollowing quanitities increase, decrease, or stay the same? C ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same Q ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same E between the plates ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same V ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same C ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same Q ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same E between the plates ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same V ---Select---increasedecreasestay the same

Explanation / Answer

C increases (thats the point of a dialectric) Q increases because the voltage can not increase, the battery onlyhas so many volts E does not change V does not change V=Ed the distance does not change, and the potential does not change, sothats why E does not change
