A capacitor with capacitance C is connected to a battery until charged, then disconnected from the battery. A dielectric having constant  is inserted in the capacitor. What changes occur in the charge, potential and stored energy of the capacitor after the dielectric is inserted?
 
  1.V stays same, Q increases, U increases
  2.V stays same, Q decreases, U stays same
  3.V increases, Q decreases, U increases
  4.V decreases, Q stays same, U decreases
  5.None of the above
  6.Cannot be determined

Question 2

Two parallel conducting plates form a capacitor. With a metal cylinder of length half the plate separation inserted between the plates, it is connected to a battery with potential V. The cylinder is now removed.
 
   
   
 
   HOW MANY of the quantities
   C, V, Q, E, and U change?


  1.0
  2.1
  3.2
  4.3
  5.4
  6.5
  7.Impossible to determine

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.

Intradermal injections are somewhat difficult to correctly administer because the skin layers are so thin that it is easy to accidentally punch through to the deeper subcutaneous layer.
