There are three circuits here each with fully charged capacitors so each system is in static equilibrium. All three circuits have the exact same battery and the spacing between the parallel plates (d) is the same in each case. However, the plate areas are different. Specifically, A = 24. The space between the plates in circuits #1 and #2 is basically a vacuum but there is a dielectric material with dielectric constant x = 3 between the plates in circuit #3. While the plate areas really are finite, for purposes of calculating the electric field you may assume that the plates have infinite area. Rank the three circuits from largest to smallest for each of the following six quantities below. If there is a difference between the circuits, you must also give the exact numerical factor by which they are different and explain your result. + + 3 A A Ke 1. Rank the magnitude of the electric potential difference between the capacitor plates. 2. Rank the magnitude of the electric field between the plates. 3. Rank the capacitance of each capacitor. 4. Rank the magnitude of the charge on each capacitor. 5. Rank the magnitude of the charge density on the plates of each capacitor. 6. Rank the energy stored by each capacitor.
