Answer

(a) $19KV$ (b) decrease (c) $9.7KV$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $V=\frac{Qd}{k\epsilon_{\circ}A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V=\frac{4.7\times 10^{-6}(0.88\times 10^{-3})}{(2.0)(8.85\times 10^{-12})(0.012)}$ $V=19KV$ (b) As V is inversely proportional to dielectric constant k, hence the answer to part(a) will decrease if k is increased. (c) We know that $V=\frac{Qd}{k\epsilon_{\circ}A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V=\frac{4.7\times 10^{-6}(0.88\times 10^{-3})}{(4.0)(8.85\times 10^{-12})(0.012)}$ $V=9.7KV$
