Hello guys,

Here is a question from my Physics HW. Please answer the question fully including the sub-questions as well. Remeber, the rule on this website is 1 question and up to 4 subparts. Also please make sure the answer correct. High rating will be included to the first and correct answers also if your answer is incorrect, rest assured I will downrate and report.

*NOTE* do not write in CURSIVE because I cannot read it. Sorry for being picky.

6. An air-filled parallel plate capacitar has a capacitance of pw, whe separation wee patesn doubled, and wax is inserted between them. The new capacetance is 26wr Find the dielectric constant of the wax, 120 pointsh

Explanation / Answer

Capacitance of capacitor is,

C = A*e0 / d = 1.3 pF

Now, distance is doubled and wax in inserted b/w plates of capacitor.

so, new capacitance is,

2.6 pF = k*A*e0 / 2d

where k = dielectric constant of wax

1.3*k / 2 = 2.6

k = 4
