Question
A capacitor is connected to an alternating-current source. Is there a magnetic field between the plates?
✓
Answer
When an alternating-current source is connected to a capacitor, the electric field between the plates of the capacitor keeps on changing with the applied voltage. Due to the changing electric field, a magnetic field exists in between the plates of the capacitor.

A dumb-bell consists of two identical small balls of mass $\frac{1}{2}\text{kg}$ each connected to the two ends of a 50cm long light rod. The dumb-bell is rotating about a fixed axis through the centre of the rod and perpendicular to it at an angular speed of 10rad/s. An impulsive force of average magnitude 5.0N acts on one of the masses in the direction of its velocity for 0.10s. Find the new angular velocity of the system.
