An initially uncharged parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged to potential V by a battery. The battery is then disconnected. Which statement is correct?

A. There is no charge on either plate of the capacitor. B. The capacitor can be discharged by grounding any one of its two plates. C. Charge is distributed evenly over both the inner and outer surfaces of the plates. D. The magnitude of the electric field outside the space between the plates is approximately zero. E.

Rotational Dynamics: A uniform, solid, 100-kg cylinder with a diameter of 1.0 m is mounted so it is free to rotate about fixed, horizontal, frictionless axis that passes through the centers of its circular ends. A 10-kg block is hung from a very light thin cord wrapped around the cylinder's circumference. When the block is released, the cord unwinds and the block accelerates downward, as shown in the figure. What is the acceleration of the block?
