1,The same voltage is applied between the plates of two
different capacitors. When used with capacitor A, this voltage
causes the capacitor to store 15 μC of charge and 3.4 x 10-5 J of
energy. When used with capacitor B, which has a capacitance of 7.9
μF, this voltage causes the capacitor to store a charge that has a
magnitude of qB. Determine qB.

The dielectric in a capacitor serves two purposes. It increases
the capacitance, compared to an otherwise identical capacitor with
an air gap, and it increases the maximum potential difference the
capacitor can support. If the electric field in a material is
sufficiently strong, the material will suddenly become able to
conduct, creating a spark. The critical field strength, at which
breakdown occurs, is 3.0 MV/m for air, but 60 MV/m for Teflon. A
