A Parallel-Plate Capacitor with Plate Separation of 4 $10 ^{- 2}$

question 65

Multiple Choice

A parallel-plate capacitor with plate separation of 4.0 cm has a plate area of 6.0 × $10 ^{- 2}$ $m ^ { 2 }$ What is the capacitance of this capacitor if a dielectric material with a dielectric constant of 2.4 is placed between the plates,completely filling the space? (ε₀ = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N ∙ m²)
