When a slab of insulating material 4 mm ...

When a slab of insulating material 4 mm thick is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, it is found that the distance between the paltes has to be increased by 3.5 mm in order to restore the conductor capacity to its original value. What is the dielectric constant of the insulating meterial?
