parallel plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.0900 m^2 and a plate separation of 0.500 cm. Initially, the space between the plates is empty (i.e., no dielectric). A battery is connected to the plates that maintains a potential difference of 9.00 V. (a) What is the capacitance? (b) What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates (assume the plate dimensions are much larger than the separation distance so that the electric field
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.

(a) What is the capacitance?
(b) What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates (assume the plate dimensions are much larger than the separation distance so that the electric field is constant in between the plates
(c) What is the total energy stored by the capacitor?
For parts (d) and (e), a Plexiglas sheet (dielectric constant κ = 2.6) is inserted between the plates and entirely fills the volume between the plates. The plates are still connected to the battery (so the potential difference across the plates is unchanged at 9.00 V).
(d) What is the capacitance?
(e) What is the magnitude of the total electric field between the plates? (assume the plate dimensions are much larger than the separation distance so that the electric field is constant in between the plates)
