Problem 73P
A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 8.00 cm on each side and 3.80 mm apart. The space between the plates is completely filled with two square slabs of dielectric, each 8.00 cm on a side and 1.90 mm thick. One slab is Pyrex glass and the other is polystyrene. If the potential difference between the plates is 86.0 V, how much electrical energy is stored in the capacitor?

ANSWER:Solution 73P
The capacitance when the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with two dielectric slabs is given by …..(1)., where and are dielectric constants of the two slabs, A is the area of a plate and is the separation between the plates.
For Pyrex,
