**Title: Analyzing a Capacitor Arrangement with and without a Dielectric**

**Section 1: Problem Statement**

**Look at the arrangement of the capacitors below.**

**A) Find the equivalent capacitance of the arrangement.**
**B) What is the voltage across each capacitor?**

\[
V_1 = \quad V_2 = \quad V_3 = \quad V_4 =
\]

**C) What is the magnitude of the charge stored on each capacitor's plates?**

\[
Q_1 = \quad Q_2 = \quad Q_3 = \quad Q_4 =
\]

**(Diagram: Four capacitors are arranged in a combination of series and parallel configurations. The left side has two capacitors each with a capacitance of 6F, connected in parallel. The right side has two capacitors each with a capacitance of 4F, also connected in parallel.)**

\[
\Delta V_{AB} = 10 \text{ volts}
\]

**Section 2: Introducing a Dielectric**

**Now imagine that a dielectric with a dielectric constant \( k = 5.0000 \) is placed inside the upper left capacitor.**

**D) Find the new equivalent capacitance of this arrangement.**

**(Diagram: The same capacitor arrangement as described earlier, with the upper left capacitor now containing a dielectric with \( k = 5.0000 \).)**

\[
\Delta V_{AB} = 10 \text{ volts still}
\]

**Section 3: Detailed Explanation (Diagrams)**

**Initial Diagram:**

- **Capacitors and Connections:**
  - Two 6F capacitors in parallel on the left side.
  - Two 4F capacitors in parallel on the right side.
- **Potential Difference:**
  - \( \Delta V_{AB} = 10 \) volts is applied across the arrangement.
  
**Diagram with Dielectric:**

- **Capacitors and Connections:**
  - Two 6F capacitors in parallel, with the upper left capacitor now containing a dielectric ( \( k = 5.0000 \)).
  - Two 4F capacitors in parallel on the right side.
- **Potential Difference:**
  - \( \Delta V_{AB} = 10 \) volts still applied across the arrangement.
