A parrallel plate capacitor consisting of two 30.0 cm x 30.0 cm square conductors are separated by a 3.00 mm piece of mica (k=5.00) is charged by a connecting it to an 18.0 V battery. What is the capacitance of this capacitor? What is the charge on the capacitor? If the mica is removed and replaced with glass (k=7.00), what is the potential difference of the plates now? What is the charge on the capacitor now with the glass?
