Suppose you have the following system where there are two types of dielectric materials between capacitor plates. The dimension of the capacitor plates are w=15.0 cm, l= 23.0 cm and the separation between the plates are d= 10.0 cm. Dielectric material with dielectric constant Kị = 1.7 takes up the upper part of the capacitor with vertical distance h = 5.75 cm. And the remaining part is filled with material having dielectric constant k2 = 2.2. Ky We can replace two types of material with different dielectric constant by only one type of material with effective dielectric constant Keff. This way the capacitance of the whole system remains the same. Calculate the effective dielectric constant. effective dielectric constant Give your answer up to at least three significance digits.
An air filled capacitor of Co- 2.0 µF is fully charged with Qo-10.0 uC using an electromotive force of s, as shown in the figure.

A parallel plate capacitor is charged up so that the upper plate carries a charge of 0.2C. In a vacuum, the potential difference between the plates is 2V. When a certain dielectric material is placed between the plates, the potential difference drops to 1.5V. Calculate the dielectric constant of the material.
Problem 5 Consider a parallel-plate capacitor with a plate area of A = 8.50 cm². The separation between the plates is d₂ = 3.00 mm (the space between the plates is filled with air). The plates of the capacitor are charged by a 6.00 V battery, i.e., the potential difference between the plates is V₂ = 6.00 V. The plates are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a sepa- ration of df = 8.00 mm. In the following, neglecting any fringing effects. (a) Will the new potential difference between the plates be larger, smaller, or the same compared to the initial potential difference of V₂ = 6.00 V? Explain. (Hint: Note that the charge will not change when the plates are pulled apart. Why is that?)
