[UPSC CSE 1987] Electrostatics and Magnetostatics (Q287, 60M)

What is dielectric susceptibility? Describe how you can determine the radius of an atom from the measurement of the dielectric constant of a gas. A parallel plate condenser consists of two plates of area 400\text{ sq. cm.} each separated by a sheet of material of 0.10\text{ mm} thickness. Find the capacity in microfarads when the dielectric constant of the material is 5.0.
