Question #1 A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate of area A 250 m' and separation d=2 mm. The capacitor is charged to a polential difference Va- 150 volts. Then the battery is carefully disconnected without change the charge on the plates, and a dielectric sheet with constant K = 3.5 of the same area A but thickness h =1 mm is placed between the plates as shown in figure (3). Detemmine (a) the initial capacitance of the air-filled capacitor, (b) the charge on each plate before the dielectric is inserted, (c) the charge induced on each face of the dielectric after it is inserted, (d) the clectric field in space between cach plate and the dielectric, and (c) the clectric field in the dielectric.

Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
