Now, consider the situation described in the figure below where the battery that charged the top and bottom plates of the capacitor remains connected. As in Question #3, assume that the distance d remains constant, but a dielectric slab is inserted between the two plates. +Q E For this case, with the battery remaining connected, answer the following questions about what would happen after the dielectric slab is inserted between the plates. (e) Does the electric field E in the region between the plates increase, decrease, or remain the same? If E increases or decreases, by what factor does it increase or decrease? (f) Does the magnitude of the potential difference V between the top plate and bottom plate increase, decrease, or remain the same? If |V| increases or decreases, by what factor does it increase or decrease? (g) Does the capacitance C increase, decrease, or remain the same? If C increases or decreases, by what factor does it increase or decrease? (h) Does the energy stored in the capacitor increase increase, decrease, or remain the same? If the stored energy increases or decreases, by what factor does it increase or decrease?
