A parallel plate capacitor with plate separation d is connected
to a battery. The capacitor is fully charged to Q Coulombs
and a voltage of V. (C is the capacitance and U is the stored
energy.) Answer the following questions regarding the capac-
itor charged by a battery. For each statement below, select
True or False.
Choices: True, False.
• With the capacitor connected to the battery, decreasing
d increases U.
• After being disconnected from the battery, increasing d
increases V.
• With the capacitor connected to the battery, increasing
d increases C.
• After being disconnected from the battery, inserting a
dielectric with κ will decrease U.
• After being disconnected from the battery, inserting a
dielectric with κ will increase V.
• After being disconnected from the battery, inserting a
dielectric with κ will decrease C.
