-ZERO-   No 17.6 pound Earth-bound cat is going to be able to jump to the top of a 6 feet 7 inch bookshelf unassisted!  Someone should call the SPCA on the writer of this textbook question ;-)

Assuming that this overweight cat is content being placed in such a lofty position, your professor probably wants the answer of <u>156.8 Joules</u>

Mass x  Acceleration of Gravity (on Earth) x elevation = Potential Energy

8 Kg x 9.8 m/s2  x 2 m  = 156.8 J

Complete Question

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air dielectric, is charged by a battery, after which the battery is disconnected. A slab of glass dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. As it is being inserted,  

A :

a force repels the glass out of the capacitor.  

B :

a force attracts the glass into the capacitor.    

C :

no force acts on the glass.      

D :

a net charge appears on the glass.      

E :

the glass makes the plates repel each other.

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Generally when the glass dielectric is slowly inserted between the plated,

The positive plate of the capacitor will induce a negative charge on the glass while the negative  plate of the capacitor will induce a positive charge on glass which a electric field that posses an electric force that will attract the glass
