A dielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area A = 15.0cm2 , plate separation d = 10.0mm and dielectric constant k = 3.00. The capacitor is connected to a battery that creates a constant voltage V = 7.50V . Throughout the problem, use ?0 = 8.85
a. C = k * ?0 * A / d
= 3.00 * 8.85 * 10-12 * 15 * 10-4 / 10.00 * 10-3
= 3.98 * 10-12 F
Energy U1 = (1/2) * C * V2
= 0.5 * 3.98 * 10-12 * 7.52
= 1.12 * 10-10 J
