Explanation / Answer

10.

given parallel plate capacitor

A = 86*10^-4 m^2

d = 4.06*10^-3 m

dV = 6.81 V

capacitance, C = A*epsilon/d

C = A*4*pi*epsilon/4*pi*d = A/4*pi*k*d

k = 8,98*10^9

hence

C = 1.877094*10^-11 F

11. after k = 6.43 dielectric is inserted

C' = kC = 1.206*10^-10 F

12. before the dielectric is inserted, charge on plates = q

q = CV = 1.278301014*10^-10 C

13. after the dielectric is inserted, since the plates are disconnected form the wires, the charge remains the same

hence q = 1.27830101*10^-10 C

14. before dielectric is inserted, PD = 6.81 V

15. after dielectric is inserted, q = C'*V

V = q/C' = q/c (1/k) = 6.81/k = 1.05909797822 V
