A Dielectric Slab Is Slowly Inserted Between the Plates of a Parallel

question 26

Multiple Choice

A dielectric slab is slowly inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor while the capacitor is connected to a battery.As it is being inserted:

• A)the capacitance, the potential difference between the plates, and the charge on the positive plate all increase
• B)the capacitance, the potential difference between the plates, the charge on the positive plate all decrease
• C)the potential difference between the plates increases, the charge on the positive plate decreases, and the capacitance remains the same
• D)the capacitance and the charge on the positive plate decrease but the potential difference between the plates remains the same
• E)the capacitance and the charge on the plate increase but the potential difference between the plates remains the same

Definitions:

Type II Error

The error that occurs when a false null hypothesis is not rejected, also known as a false negative.

P Value

In hypothesis testing, the probability that the observed data (or a more extreme) would occur if the null hypothesis were true.

Hypothesized Reason

A proposed explanation based on limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation or experiment.

Significance

The degree to which a result, difference, or relationship in data is not likely to occur by random chance.
