 A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and stores 4.1 nC of charge. Then, while the battery remains connected, a sheet of Teflon is inserted between the plates. For the dielectric constant, use the value from Table 21.3.

Part A.

Does the capacitor's charge increase or decrease?

A.The capacitor's charge increases.
	B.The capacitor's charge decreases.
	C.The capacitor's charge remains the same.
	D.It's impossible to determine.

Part B. By how much does the charge change? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
