A capacitor is made of two circular plates of radius R each, separated by a distance d<<R. The capacitor is connected to a constant voltage. A thin conducting disc of radius r<<R and thickness t<<r is placed at a center of the bottom plate. Find the minimum voltage required to lift the disc if the mass of the disc is m.

A parallel plate capacitor is filled by a dielectric whose relative permittivity varies with the applied voltage (U) as ε = αU where α = 2V–1. A similar capacitor with no dielectric is charged to U₀ = 78 V. It is then connected to the uncharged capacitor with the dielectric. Find the final voltage on the capacitors.
