Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Area of the plates,A=100cm2
  2. Magnitude of the equal charges,q=8.9×10-7C
  3. The charges have equal magnitudes and opposite signs.
  4. Electric field within the dielectric material,E=1.4×106V/m

Understanding the concept of the change due to dielectric substance

When a dielectric is present,Gauss’ law may be generalized to,

ε0∮kE→.dA→=q

Here, is a free charge; any induced surface charge is accounted for by including the dielectric constant k inside the integral.

By using the concept of Gauss’s law with dielectric, we can find the dielectric constant of the material and the charge induced on the dielectric surface.

Formulae:

The electric field between the capacitor plates with dielectric,E=qkε0A …(¾±)

Here, is the electric field,is the dielectric constant of the material,ε0is the permittivity of the free space, q is electric charge and A is the area of cross-section.

The net charge dielectric induced on each plate, q'=q1-1K …(¾±¾±)

Here, q is electric charge and q' is induced electric charge, k is the dielectric constant of the material.

03

(a) Calculation of the dielectric constant

By substituting the given values in equation (i), we can calculate the value of the dielectric constant of the material as follows:

k=8.9×10-7C1.4×106V/m×8.85×10-12C2/N.m×100×10-4m2=7.2

Hence, the value of the dielectric constant is 7.2 .

04

(b) Calculation of the magnitude of charge induced on each dielectric

The magnitude of the induced charge on each dielectric constant is given using equation (ii) as follows:

q'=q-qk=q1-1k=8.9×10-7C1-17.2=7.7×10-7C

Hence, the value of the induced charge is7.7×10-7Cs .
