The answer is D. I hope this helps
Answer:
40
Explanation:
Mechanical advantage = effort arm / load arm
MA = 20 cm / 0.5 cm
MA = 40
When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling
the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance
and the voltage (
) are related by
(1)
when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.
When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):

this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:

And since
, substituting into the previous equation, we find:
