Dielectrics: A parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of 10 mF and is charged with a 20-V power supply. The power supply is then removed and a dielectric material of dielectric constant 4.0 is used to fill the space between the plates. What is the voltage now across the capacitor?

Electric field and potential : The graph in the figure shows the variation of the electric potential V(x) (in arbitrary units) as a function of the position x (also in arbitrary units). Which of the choices below correctly describes the orientation of the x-component of the electric field along the x-axis?

Induced electric fields: For a long ideal solenoid having a circular cross-section, the magnetic field strength within the solenoid is given by the equation B(t) = 5.0t T, where t is time in seconds. If the induced electric field outside the solenoid is 1.1 V/m at a distance of 2.0 m from the axis of the solenoid, find the radius of the solenoid.

Lenz’s law: A coil lies flat on a tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points straight up. The magnetic field vanishes suddenly. When viewed from above, what is the direction of the induced current in this coil as the field fades?
