A parallel-plate capacitor made of circular plates of radius 65 cm separated by 0.30 cm is charged to a potential difference of 800 Volts by a battery. Then a sheet of mylar is pushed between the plates, completely filling the gap between them. How much additional charge flows from the battery to one of the plates when the mylar is inserted?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Upon filling the gap between plates with Mylar, the capacitance of the capacitor increases and thus the charge bearing capacity of the capacitor also increases.
