Answer:
k = 2.279
Explanation:
Given:
Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC
Now,
the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:
C = Q/V
where,
V is the potential difference
Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be
C =
Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated
the capacitance (C') will be
C' =
or
C' =
now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:
substituting the values, we get
or
k = 2.279
