Given the problem below:

1. What is the amount of charge in the plates?

2. What is the dielectric constant of the insulator used?

3. What is the capacitance after the dielectric was inserted?

4. What is the magnitude of the electric field BEFORE the dielectric was inserted?

5.  What is the magnitude of the electric field AFTER the dielectric was inserted?

The parallel plates in a capacitor have an area of 1000 cm2² (1.00 EXP-1 m2)
and are 10.0 mm (10.0 EXP-3 m) apart. The original potential difference Ve
between the plates is 3.0 EXP3 V and it decreases to 220 V when a sheet of a
dielectric is inserted between the plates.
