Two parallel plates (each of area 400 cm2) of a capacitor are given equal and opposite charges of magnitude 3.56 μC. The space between the plates is filled with a dielectric. If the electric field in the dielectric is 1.2 × 106 V/m, what is the dielectric constant of the material? (ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 F/m)
