Consider a large parallel plate capacitor. The gap
between the two plates is filled entirely with a dielectric slab of relative permittivity 5. The plates are initially charged to a potential difference of
volts and then disconnected from the source. If the dielectric slab is pulled out completely, then the ratio of the new electric field
in the gap to the original electric field
is __________.Log in to check the answer
