Item 5
Part A
Each plate of a parallel-plate capacator is a square with
side length r, and the plates are separated by a distance
d. The capacitor is connected to a source of voltage V. A
plastic slab of thickness d and dielectric constant K is
inserted slowly between the plates over the time period
At until the slab is squarely between the plates. While
the slab is being inserted, a current runs through the
battery/capacitor circuit. (Figure 1)
Assuming that the dielectric is inserted at a constant rate, find the current I
inserted.
the slab is
Express your answer in terms of any or all of the given variables V, K, r, d, At, and €o,

V.
Parallel conducting plates create nearly uniform fields that are used to accelerate and direct beams of electrons. Typically we would free the electrons from a surface by heating it up. One way is to run a current through a wire with resistance. The power dissipated in the wire causes it to increase its temperature to the point that it can radiate that power away, mostly carried off as light. The hot electrons escape the potential barrier at the surface and are "free" to use.
Consider a source of electrons that is small, like a tiny hot filament. The electrons are freed from the surface but the positive charge they leave behind holds them in a cloud near the filament. Now we add another plate at voltage VV some distance dd away. We put a little hole in that plate to enable the electrons to zip on through. The experiment looks something like this. While they seem antiquated, the concept is still useful. It is the basis of modern X-ray tubes, and until only a few years ago all…
