1) Find the electric field inside a 10 microFarad parallel plate capacitor when connected to a 6V battery if the gap between the capacitor plates is filled with air and is 10mm apart. Repeat your calculation if the gap is filled with paper with a dielectric constant of 4?
We consider that capacitor area is very large so we can consider it as infinite sheet.
When a Diectric is kept inside a capacitor then a charge induces on Diectric, which produces an electric field which is opposite in direction of the electric field without Diectric. So, the net electric field decrease..
Please comment if you have any doubts...
