Two identical capacitors are connected parallel. Initially they are charged to a potential V0 and each acquired a charge Q0. The
battery is then disconnected, and the gap between the plates of one capacitor is filled with a dielectric. (a) What is the new potential difference V across the capacitors. possible asnwers: V=(Vo)^2/[kQo+Vo), V=Vo/2k, V=Vo/2, V=kQo/Vo, V=2Vo/[k+1] (b) If the dielectric constant is 7.8, calculate the ratio of the charge on the capacitor with the dielectric after it is inserted as compared with the initial charge.
in an accident, when the body collides with the air bags, the collision time of impact between the two bodies will increase due to the presence of air bags in the car. Larger is the impact time smaller is the transformation of energy between the body and air bag. That is why air bags greatly reduce the chance of injury in a car accident.
