The parallel plates of an isolated charged capacitor are 1 mm apart and the potential difference across them is V. The plates are now separated to 3 mm (while the charge on them is remained constant) and a slab of dielectric material is inserted, filling the space between the plates. The potential difference across the capacitor is now Ve/2. Find the dielectric constant K.
