Rank the following five capacitors from largest to smallest according to the potential difference between the plates.
   (a) a 20-F capacitor with a 4-V potential difference between its plates
   (b) a 30-F capacitor with charges of magnitude 90 C on each plate
   (c) a capacitor with charges of magnitude 80 C on its plates, differing by 2 V in potential,
   (d) a 10-F capacitor storing energy 125 J
   (e) a capacitor storing energy 250 J with a 10-V potential difference


  1.e > a > b > d > c
  2.e > d > a > b > c
  3.c > b > a > d > e
  4.b > a = c > d = e

Question 2

Two charged objects attract one another with a force F. If the charge on both objects is doubled and the distance between them is also doubled, what will be the force between them?

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
