Potential difference across the plates changes

Reference no: EM13556389

An empty capacitor is connected to a 24.0 V battery andcharged up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery,and a slab of dielectric material (κ = 3.5) isinserted between the plates. Find the amount by which the potential difference across the plates changes. Specify whether the change isan increase or a decrease. The voltage will decrease by? V
