In general, how do you think the sum of all of the IR drops in a series circuit compares with the total voltage across the entire circuit based on your results in Procedures 2, 3, and 4?

Question 2

A fully charged parallel-plate capacitor remains connected to a battery while you slide a dielectric between the plates. What happens to the value of the energy stored in the capacitor?
  1.It increases.
  2.It decreases.
  3.It stays the same.
