Chapter 17, Problem 96GP

(choose chapter or problem)

A parallel-plate capacitor with plate area \(A=2.0 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) and plate separation \(d=3.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) is connected to a  battery (Fig. 17-51a). (a) Determine the charge on the capacitor, the electric field, the capacitance, and the energy stored in the capacitor. (b) With the capacitor still connected to the battery, a slab of plastic with dielectric strength  is placed between the plates of the capacitor, so that the gap is completely filled with the dielectric (Fig. . What are the new values of charge, electric field, capacitance, and the energy stored in the capacitor?
