2 parallel plate conducts and dielectric-pic included

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on a problem involving two parallel plate conductors and a dielectric, specifically addressing an error in the solution manual. The user identifies a discrepancy in the voltage assignment for Question 2, asserting that the correct value should be (200V)kC2 instead of (200V)kC1. This highlights the importance of verifying solution manuals against established physics principles regarding capacitors and dielectrics.

I uploaded the problem statement and the answer in the solution manual. I think the manual is wrong for Q2 which should've been (200V)kC2 not 200VkC1, right?
