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.

Slowing down of neutrons: In a nuclear reactor a neutron of high speed (typically $10^7 m s ^{-1}$ ) must be slowed to $10^3 m s ^{-1}$ so that it can have a high probability of interacting with isotope ${ }_{92}^{235} U$ and causing it to fission. Show that a neutron can lose most of its kinetic energy in an elastic collision with a light nuclei like deuterium or carbon which has a mass of only a few times the neutron mass. The material making up the light nuclei, usually heavy water $\left( D _2 O \right)$ or graphite, is called a moderator.
