A 200-volt battery is connected to a 0.5-microfarad parallel-plate, air-filled capacitor. Now
the battery is disconnected, with care taken not to discharge the plates. Some Pyrex glass is
then inserted between the plates, completely filling up the space. What is the final
potential difference between the plates? (the dielectric constant for Pyrex is k = 5.6)
