Consider two capacitors.  One is air-filled, consisting of two parallel plates a = 0.6 cm on a side, separated by distance d = 0.36 mm.  The other is cylindrical, with a length a, has an inner cylinder of radius d/2, outer cylinder of radius d, and is filled with polyethylene (κ=2.3) between the cylinders.  Each capacitor carries the same charge Q = 6.9 μC.  The parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance C1 and the cylindrical capacitor C2.  What is the ratio of C1/C2
