An air-filled capacitor stores a potential energy of due to its charge. It is accidentally filled with water in such a way as not to discharge its plates. How much energy does it continue to store after it is filled? (The dielectric constant for water is 78 and for air it is 1.0006.)

The capacitive network shown in the figure is assembled with initially uncharged capacitors. A potential difference, Vab = +100V, is applied across the network. The switch S in the network is kept open. Assume that all the capacitances shown are accurate to two significant figures. What is potential difference Vcd across the open switch S?

The figure shows a 2.0-cm diameter roller that turns at 90 rpm. A 4.0-cm wide plastic film is being wrapped onto the roller, and this plastic carries an excess electric charge having a uniform surface charge density of 5.0 nC/cm2. What is the current of the moving film?

An electric dipole is made of two charges of equal magnitudes and opposite signs. The positive charge, q = 1.0 μC, is located at the point (x, y, z) = (0.00 cm, 1.0 cm, 0.00 cm), while the negative charge is located at the point (x, y, z) = (0.00 cm, -1.0 cm, 0.00 cm). How much work will be done by an electric field = (3.0 × 106 N/C) to bring the dipole to its stable equilibrium position?
