A parallel-plate capacitor has plates with area separated by of Teflon. (a) Calculate the charge on the plates when they are charged to a potential difference of (b) Use Gauss’s law [Eq. (24.23)] to calculate the electric field inside the Teflon. (c) Use Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field if the voltage source is disconnected and the Teflon is removed.
