8.5 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

For a Teflon™-filled, parallel-plate capacitor, the area of the plate is 50.0cm250.0 \text{cm}^{2} and the spacing between the plates is 0.50 mm. If the capacitor is connected to a 200-V battery, find (a) the free charge on the capacitor plates, (b) the electrical field in the dielectric, and (c) the induced charge on the dielectric surfaces.
