Two parallel plates, 9.25 cm on a side, are separated by 5.12 mm. (See Fig. 16.30a.)

(a) Determine their capacitance if the volume from one plate to midplane is filled with a material of dielectric constant 2.55 and the rest is filled with a different material of dielectric constant 4.10.
(b) If these plates are connected to a 12-V battery, what is the electric field strength in each dielectric region?
