Question #1 :: A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate of area A 250 m' and separation d 2
mm. The capacitor is charged to a pulential difference Va 150 volts. Then the battery is
carefully disconnected without change the charge on the plates, and a dielectric sheet with
constant K = 3.5 of the same area A but thickness h =1 mm is placed hetween the plates as
shown in figure (3). Detemine (a) the initial capacitance of the air-filled capacitor, (b) the
charge on each plate before the dielectric is inserted, (c) the charge induced on each face of the
diclectric after it is inserted, (d) the electric field in space between cach plate and the dielectric,
and (e) the clectric field in the dielectric.
