A parallel-plate capacitor of plate area

0.04\,\text{m}^2

and separation

2\,\text{mm}

is completely filled with a dielectric of relative permittivity

\kappa = 4

and connected to a

100\,\text{V}

battery. The magnitude of the bound surface charge that appears on each face of the dielectric is closest to (a)

18\,\text{nC}

(b)

106\,\text{nC}

(c)

53\,\text{nC}

(d)

71\,\text{nC}
