3. For your parallel plate capacitor design in the previous problem, you are allowed to use a mica dielectric, (K = 5, and Em = 30 MV/m). Typically, if you add a dielectric, your capacitance goes up by K. But your boss doesn't want a new capacitor, your design specifications are the same: C = 500 nF and V = 3000 V. (a) Does the amount of charge on the plates change? (b) With the new value of Em that can exist in the dielectric. What is the minimum separation of the plates? (c) What is the new minimum area each plate much have? (d) Will adding the dielectric make your design easier
