(e) When the plates are connected to the battery, the plates plus slab are not an isolated system. In addition to the work done on the slab by the charges on the plates, energy is also transferred between the battery and ( K ! 1)!0V 2 L . the plates. Comparing the results for dU in part (c) to dU # ! Fdx gives F # 2D IDENTIFY:! C # Q / V . Apply Gauss's law and the relation between potential difference and electric field. r! ! r! ! SET UP:!
