Define dielectric constant.

A parallel capacitor collects a charge of 3muC when connected to a 1.5 V battery with air as dielectric. On replacing the air with a dielectric material the capacitor collects 9muC of charge. Find the dielectric constant of the material and also the energy stored in it with the material as dielectric.

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 10^(7)Vm^(-1) . For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. what minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor becomes 4//3 times its original value if a dielectric slab of thickness t=d/2 is inserted between the plates [d is the separation between the plates]. The dielectric constant of the slab is

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 10^(7) Vm^(-1) . (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?
