Dielectrics: A 15-?F capacitor is connected to a 50-V battery and becomes fully charged. The battery is removed and a slab of dielectric, having a dielectric constant of 5.0, is inserted between the plates and completely fills the space between them.(a) What is the capacitance of the capacitor after the slab is inserted?(b) What is the potential difference across the capacitor with the dielectric inserted.

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


(a) 75 µF (b) 10 V

What is the role of collisions between galaxies in the formation and evolution of galaxies?

A) in a collision both galaxies are always destroyed so galaxy formation must be an ongoing process B) galaxies are moving very fast and when they collide they always just move right through each other, never to interact again C) larger galaxies may have formed from the merger of smaller ones D) galaxies are much too far apart to ever have collisions E) in a collision all the stars in the galaxies are spread out and then must find other stars and come together and form new galaxies

How might a nearby neighbor change the shape of this galaxy?

A. It might obliterate all life in that galaxy because of collisions between different planetary systems in the merger of the two galaxies. B. A merger with the neighbor might tighten the spiral arms and lead to a shrinking of the bulge component. C. It might make the disk of the galaxy thinner and the halo rounder. D. Small whirlpools might form in the disk of the spiral and the gas and stars would fall into them, leading to the disappearance of the disk. E. The merger of two spiral galaxies may give rise to an elliptical galaxy.
