Problem 1: A parallel plate capacitor (dimensions 1 cm x 1 m) is designed to
store energy. Putting a dielectric into the capacitor makes a huge difference to the
amount of energy I can store. If I have a dielectric with a dielectric constant of k =
100 and the plates are spaced only 1 micron (10-6 m), how much energy can I store
with 100 Volts across the capacitor?
