A charged parallel plate capacitor is filled completely with a dielectric of relative permittivity 9.6. The plate area is 30 cm², the plate separation is 0.2 mm, and the stored charge is 10 nC. Use Gauss' law to find the magnitudes of E, P and D within the dielectric. Find also the potential difference across the plates and the capacitance.
