AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the dielectric constant \( K \) of a dielectric slab that is inserted between the plates of a capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor increases to \( \frac{4}{3} \) times its original value when the slab is inserted. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Original Capacitance**: The original capacitance \( C \) of the capacitor is given by the formula: \[ C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} ...
