A parallel-plate capacitor, with air between the plates, is connected across a voltage source

This source establishes a potential difference between the plates by placing charge of magnitude
4.15 x 10-6 C on each plate. The space between the plates is then filled with a dielectric material, with a dielectric constant of 7.74. What must the magnitude of the charge on each capacitor plate now be, to produce the same potential difference between the plates as before?


3.21 × 10-5 C
