Chapter 24: Problem 41
When a 360-nF air capacitor (11 nF = 10\(^{-9}\) F) is connected to a power supply, the energy stored in the capacitor is 1.85 \(\times\) 10\(^{-5}\) J. While the capacitor is kept connected to the power supply, a slab of dielectric is inserted that completely fills the space between the plates. This increases the stored energy by 2.32 \(\times\) 10\(^{-5}\) J. (a) What is the potential difference between the capacitor plates? (b) What is the dielectric constant of the slab?
