Inserting a dielectric material into a capacitor decreases the electric field inside the capacitor due to polarization.

A charged particle moving perpendicular to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force that acts perpendicular to both the velocity and the magnetic field, causing it to move in a circular path.

A current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the current.

A magnetic field exerts a force only on moving charges; therefore, a stationary charge experiences no force.

The addition of a non-volatile solute raises the boiling point of the solvent, a phenomenon known as boiling point elevation.

A polarizer decreases the intensity of unpolarized light by allowing only a certain orientation of light waves to pass through.

A quarter-wave plate converts linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light by introducing a phase shift of 90 degrees.

When a second polarizer is oriented at 90 degrees to the first, it blocks all the light, reducing the intensity to zero.

When a second polarizer is oriented at 90 degrees to the first, no light passes through.

When light passes through a second polarizer at 90 degrees to the first, the intensity is reduced to zero.

A catalyst speeds up the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions equally, thus having no effect on the position of equilibrium.

A catalyst increases the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions equally, thus it does not shift the position of equilibrium.

Adding a common ion decreases the solubility of a salt in a saturated solution due to the common ion effect.

Adding a non-volatile solute decreases the vapor pressure of the solvent due to the reduction in the mole fraction of the solvent.

Adding a solute to a solvent increases the boiling point of the solution, a phenomenon known as boiling point elevation.

Adding a solute to a solvent typically increases the viscosity of the solution due to the interactions between solute and solvent molecules.

A buffer solution is designed to resist changes in pH, so adding a strong acid will cause only a small change in pH.

Adding a strong base to a buffer solution will increase the pH, but the buffer will resist significant changes in pH due to the presence of the weak acid.

Adding an inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressures of the reactants and products, so the equilibrium position remains unchanged.

Adding an inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressures of the reactants or products, hence no effect on equilibrium.

Adding an inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressures of the reactants and products, thus it has no effect on the equilibrium position.

Adding salt to water generally increases its viscosity.

Alkyl groups increase the basicity of amines due to their electron-donating effect.

Atmospheric drag decreases the speed of satellites in low Earth orbit, leading to a gradual decrease in altitude.

Damping causes the amplitude of oscillations to decrease over time due to energy loss.

Damping causes the energy of the oscillating system to decrease over time due to energy loss.

Deforestation increases CO2 levels in the atmosphere as fewer trees are available to absorb carbon dioxide.

The presence of a dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor.

The presence of a dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor.

Diluting a strong acid decreases its concentration, which increases the pH (making it less acidic).
