Question
A parallel plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric that has a dielectric constant of 1.50. The plates have an area of 2.73 mm² and are separated by a distance of 5.00 µm.
If the filled capacitor is connected to a 9 volt battery, what is the charge stored on the plates of this filled capacitor?
If the dielectric is removed from this capacitor, and the capacitor remains connected to the 9 volt battery, what is the voltage across the empty capacitor?
If the dielectric is removed from this capacitor, and the capacitor remains connected to the 9 volt battery, what is the charge stored on the plates of the empty capacitor?
After removing the dielectric, the plates a are insulated so that the charge on them remains fixed. If the battery is then disconnected, after the dielectric has been removed, what is the
charge on the plates?
If the dielectric is then re-inserted, with the plates insultated so that the charge remains fixed, what is the voltage across the capacitor with the dielectric re-inserted?
