Problem

A vertically flat condenser is placed in a wide vessel with liquid so that the lower part of the condenser plates is immersed in the liquid. The capacitor is connected to a battery that maintains a potential difference of V on the capacitor plates Distance between capacitor plates d, liquid density ρ\rho, permittivity ε\varepsilon. The liquid is incompressible. How high will the liquid rise? Ignore the surface tension.
