A parallel-plate capacitor has charge of magnitude 8.40 μC on each plate and capacitance 2.40 μF when there is air between the plates. The plates are separated by 2.10 mm. With the charge on the plates kept constant, a dielectric with κ = 6 is inserted between the plates, completely filling the volume between the plates. (Enter the magnitudes.) (a) What is the potential difference between the plates of the capacitor (in V) before and after the dielectric has been inserted? before V after V (b) What is the electrical field at the point midway between the plates (in V/m) before and after the dielectric is inserted? before V/m after V/m

An initially uncharged air-filled capacitor is connected to a 5.91 V charging source. As a result, the capacitor acquires 5.13×10−5 C of charge. Then, while the capacitor remains connected to the charging source, a sheet of dielectric material is inserted between its plates, completely filling the space. The dielectric constant κ of this substance is 5.83. Find the voltage V across the capacitor and the charge Qf stored by it after the dielectric is inserted and the circuit has returned to a steady state. V = V Qf = C
