With the battery connected, since x is increasing downwards, a negative force is upwards, pushing the dielectric away.With the battery disconnected, the force is positive and pointed downwards, pulling in the dielectric.The force is proportional to (κ-1) and inversely to L.To make the argument simple, we have omitted the fact that the field at the end includes the fringe field which depends on distance between the plates. The result including fringe fields is quantitatively different. See S. Margulies, American Journal of Physics, V. 52, p 515 (1984)

All C’s are 8.00 nF. The battery is 12 V.What is the equivalent capacitance?
C12 = 4 nFC123 = 12 nFQ123 = C123 x V = 144 nCQ3 = C3 x V = 96 nCQ12 = C12 x V = 48 nC
U123 = ½ C123V2 = ½ x 12x10-9 x122 = 864 nJU1 = ½ C1V1
2 = ½ x 8x10-9 x62 = 144 nJ = U2
U3 = ½ x 8x10-9 x122 = 576 nF
C3 stores most energy, also the highest electric field and most charge, the most stressed part of the circuit.
• Series combinations reduce the capacitance. Equal C reduce by the number involved.
• In parallel the capacitance increases.A basket of 4 capacitors, each of C = 6 nF. How
can you arrange them to get a) 1.5 nFb) 2 nF g) 2.4 nFc) 3 nF h) 3.6 nFd) 4 nF i) 4.5 nF j) 6 nFe) 12 nF k) 18 nFf) 24 nF
