(Next three questions) Suppose two charged plates are floating in empty space, d-20 cm apart and parallel to each other, and each plate has area A-17 m². Suddenly, the world's best ultimate frisbee player throws a dielectric slab with thickness 0.2 m (same as the capacitor spacing d) perfectly between the two plates, causing the voltage difference across the plates to change. Then he challenges you to do the same thing with a conducting slab with a different thickness, which would knock out and replace the dielectric between the plates. Assume unless otherwise stated that none of these materials touch.

(Next three questions) Suppose two charged plates are floating in empty space, d-20 cm apart and
parallel to each other, and each plate has area A-17 m². Suddenly, the world's best ultimate frisbee
player throws a dielectric slab with thickness 0.2 m (same as the capacitor spacing d) perfectly
between the two plates, causing the voltage difference across the plates to change. Then he
challenges you to do the same thing with a conducting slab with a different thickness, which would
knock out and replace the dielectric between the plates. Assume unless otherwise stated that none
of these materials touch.
3 sig figs each; nonzero voltage differences-100--1000, nonzero slab thickness -10 cm
Question 17
(a) While there's still empty space between the plates, if the charges on them is ±2 4C, what is the
magnitude of voltage difference between the plates? Answer in units of volts.
Question 18
(b) If the frisbee player's dielectric block has e, - 7, what is the magnitude of potential difference
when the dielectric is between them?
Question 19
(c) What thickness of conducting slab would produce twice the voltage difference as part (b)?
Answer in units of cm.
