A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery. After the steady state is reached, the electric energy stored in the capacitor is UE. Which of the following makes a correct claim about the amount of work needed to charge the capacitor and gives evidence to support this claim? A) No work is needed to charge the capacitor, because the charges will naturally move to their equilibrium position.
B) The amount of work needed to charge the capacitor is UE, because in all physical situations, the work done is equal to the final potential energy of the system.
C) The amount of work needed to charge the capacitor is UE, because when integrating the equation W = integral qdV with the correct limits yield the equation for the energy stored on a capacitor, UE = 1/2qV.
D) The amount of work needed to charge the capacitor is 2UE, because it takes UE of work to remove the charges from the battery and UE to place the charges on the capacitor (E).
E) The amount of work needed to charge the capacitor is 2UE, because for a capacitor UE = 1/2qV while for the battery W = qV.

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i.e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that
