IMPORTANT
The potential difference between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is 200 V The area of each plate is 100 cm2 And the distance between them is 1 mm. If the medium between them is air, then calculate the charge taken by the capacitor. IF there is a medium of dielectric constant 2.5 Between the plates, then what will be the potential difference for the same charge?

A paper is placed between two plates of copper, area of each 100 cm2. The thickness of the paper is 0.005 cm and its dielectric constant is 2.5. If the paper can bear an electric field of 5 x 105 V/cm, then calculate the maximum voltage up to which the capacitor can be charged. How much charge will be stored on the capacitor?
