A parallel-plate capacitor with vacuum between its horizontal plates has a capacitance of 26.0 µF. A nonconducting liquid with dielectric constant 6.60 is poured into the space between the plates, filling up a fraction f of its volume.
(a) Find the new capacitance as a function of f. (Cf is in µF. Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)
Cf =
(b) What should you expect the capacitance to be when f = 0?
µF

Yes
No
(c) What capacitance should you expect when f = 1?
µF
Does the expression from part (a) agree with your answer?
