Determine the charge on the plates


A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.43 cm and a plate area of 25.0 cm2. The plates are charged to a potential difference of 255 V and disconnected from the source. The capacitor is then immersed in distilled water. Assume the liquid is an insulator.

(a) Determine the charge on the plates before and after immersion.
