A charged capacitor stores energy, and when the Teflon dielectric between the plates is pulled out the energy stored more than doubles. Where did the extra energy come from?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

The coulomb, which is the unit of charge, is the charge on one electron.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

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

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
