Problem

A parallel-plate capacitor with plate area 0.020 m20.020\,\text{m}^2 and plate separation 0.80 mm0.80\,\text{mm} is initially vacuum-filled and carries +2.5 μC+2.5\,\mu\text{C} of charge on one plate. After the battery is disconnected, a dielectric slab of constant κ=5.6\kappa = 5.6 completely fills the gap. Determine the new potential difference between the plates (in volts).
