A parallel plate capacitor is maintained...

A parallel plate capacitor is maintained at a certain potentail difference. When a 3mm thick slab is intorduced between the plate, in a order to maintain the same potential difference, the distance between the plates is increased by 2.4 mm. Find the dielectric constant of the slab.
