The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are 0.02 m apart. A dielectric with a constant of 7.8 is placed between the plates. When the capacitor connects to a 60 V voltage source, the capacitor plates hold 0.5 μC of net charge. Answer each of the following questions, and remember to show your work.

-What is the capacitance of the capacitor?

-What is the plate area of the capacitor?

-The battery is disconnected and then the dielectric is removed. Briefly describe how this will affect each of the following.

- Charge stored on the plates

- Energy stored in the capacitor

- Voltage difference between the plates

- Capacitance of the capacitor
