Capacitors are used in circuits that emit radio frequencies used for remote controllers. You work at a remote controller store and you are given the following table of dielectric constants. If your task is to create a capacitor with the highest capacitance, what dielectric material would you choose and why? If you know the area of your parallel plate capacitor is 1m^2 and has a gap between plates of 1x10^-3m, what would be the difference in capacitance from the parallel plate capacitor in vacuum vs using the dielectric you choose?

A capacitor consists of two circular plates of radius a separated by a distance d(assume d << a). The centre of each plate is connected to the terminals of a voltagesource by a thin wire. A switch in the circuit is closed at time t = 0 and a current I(t) flows in the circuit. Thecharge on the plate is related to the current according to I (t) = dq/dt. We begin bycalculating the electric field between the plates. Throughout this problem you mayignore edge effects. We assume that the electric field is zero for r > a.(A) Use Gauss’ Law to find the electric field between the plates as a functionof time t, in terms of q(t), a, ε, and π.
