A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 124.0 cm² and a separation of 1.00 cm. A battery charges the plates to a potential difference of 121.0 Vand is then disconnected. A dielectric slab of thickness 4.60 mm and dielectric constant 6.40 is then placed symmetrically between the plates. Find the capacitance before the slab is inserted. 1.098
