An initially uncharged parallel plate capacitor is connected to a circuit containing a battery with emf ε = 24 V and a resistor, R = 4.7 MΩ as shown in the figure to below. The capacitor whose plates have an area of A = 2.8 mm2 are separated by a distance of d = 4 mm and one third of the capacitor is filled with a dielectric material, κ1 = 2.3 and the rest (two thirds) is filled with another dielectric material, κ2 = 7.9. At t = 0 the switch is closed. 7.4 seconds after the switch is closed the electric field within the first dielectric material (κ1) is observed to be 15×106 N/C. Find the charge on the capacitor at this instant (t = 7.4 s) in terms of permittivity of free space ϵ0 ? Express your answer using zero decimal place.

A lab technician builds a parallel-plate capacitor with adjustable spacing between the plates. When the plates are at their initial separation, the capacitance is 4.00 μF. (a) At this capacitance, the capacitor is connected to a 12.00 V battery. After fully charging, how much energy (in μJ) is stored in the capacitor? μJ (b) The battery is then disconnected. Without discharging the capacitor, the lab technician then doubles the separation between the plates. At this point, how much energy (in μJ) is stored in the capacitor? μJ (c) Without changing this new separation between the plates, the capacitor is discharged, and then reconnected to the 12.00 V battery. Now, after fully charging, how much energy (in μJ) is stored in the capacitor? μJ
