Problem 6: A parallelplate capacitor with plate area A, plate separation d and a
capacitance of C0 = 13.5 μF in the air. Now a dielectric medium with dielectric
constant κ = 1.45 is inserted into the plates. First, the medium occupies all the
space between the plates (see Figure a), and the capacitance is C1. In the second
case, it occupies upper half space between the two plates (see Figure b). The
capacitance is C2.
