Detailed Solution

Two plates of same area (A) are seperated by a small distance (d) i.e, considered as a parallel plate capacitor. The space between the plates is filled with vaccum (or) air
Let 'q' is charge on each plate σ is surface charge density on either plate
σ=qA 
The electric field between the plates is uniform and its magnitude is given by
E=σϵ0;E=q0
Question Image

for uniform electric field the potential difference between the plates is given by V = Ed
V=qA0.dqV=0Ad here qV=cC=0Ad in medium C=εAd;C=K0Ad
where K is relative permitivity of medium
