Capacitor - Potential/Field

The given figure is a parallel plate capacitor having two parallel Cu plates are separated by a SiO2 dielectric. The capacitor is charged and connected to a voltameter which reads 4V.


1. Will a voltmeter reading go up or down if we replace SiO2 with TiO2? Calculate the change in voltage. (?SiO2 = 3.8 and ?TiO2  = 70)


2. Calculate the amount of charge stored in the capacitor with SiO2 dielectric if area of Cu plate is 28 cm2, thickness of dielectric is 2 cm. Also, calculate the energy stored in the capacitor (in Wh unit).
