Problem

A copper slab of thickness t=3 mmt = 3\,\text{mm} is inserted into a parallel plate capacitor with plate separation d=5 mmd = 5\,\text{mm}. The capacitor remains connected to a 10 V10\,\text{V} battery. Find the ratio of the new electric field strength in the air gap to the original electric field strength before insertion.
