Question
Two parallel plates have equal and opposite charges. When the space between the plates is evacuated, the electric field is E= 3.40×105 V/m . When the space is filled with dielectric, the electric field is E= 2.20×105 V/m . Part A What is the charge density on each surface of the dielectric?

Answer:
Explanation:
When the space is filled with dielectric, an induced opposite sign charge appears on each surface of the dielectric. This induced charge has a charge density related to the charge density on the electrodes as follows:
Where E is the eletric field with dielectric and
is the electric filed without it. Recall that
is given by:
Replacing this and solving:
