  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

The coulomb, which is the unit of charge, is the charge on one electron.

Answer to Question 1

The charged plates have a net attraction to the polarized charges in the dielectric as the dielectric is removed. We must do work to remove the Teflon which puts extra energy into the capacitor system.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
