R = 52 C= 150 uF Ω +||+ 12 Dielectric S A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery and resistor as shown above. The dielectric material is removable with a thickness of 2.0 mm and the capacitance C, resistance R, and battery voltage VB are noted above. 1. Calculate the area of the capacitor plates given a dielectric constant of 5.0. 2. Calculate the maximum amount of energy stored in the capacitor. 3. Calculate the maximum current flowing through the circuit. 4. Suppose the dielectric material is now removed with only air left between the plates. Calculate the new capacitance. 5. Suppose the dielectric material is removed while the capacitor is fully charged and switch S is closed. Describe any changes in the circuit. 6. Explain how will the removal of the dielectric material affect maximum circuit current?
