Problem

Two large parallel plates of area

12\,\text{cm}^2

are

1.0\,\text{mm}

apart. The half-space adjacent to one plate is filled with air (assume

\kappa = 1.0

) and the other half-space is filled with a dielectric of constant

\kappa = 4.0

. Calculate the effective capacitance of this arrangement in picofarads.
