5. Describe what happens to the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor
with or without dielectric inserted between the two plates:

1. A parallel-plate capacitor has an area of 6x 10-m². The plates are separated by a 1.0-mm
thickness of paper. Find the capacitance of this device with and without dielectric?
k = 3.7 for paper
Solution:
With dielectric
Without dielectric
C=
- (8.85 x 10-1" ) m
= 3.7 (8.85 z 10-12
6x10m
(10x10-m.
C = 2.0 x 10-11F
C = 5.31 x 10-12F
