Question

In capacitive electrostimulation, electrodes are placed on opposite sides of a limb. A potential difference is applied to the electrodes, which is believed to be beneficial in treating bone defects and breaks. If the capacitance is measured to be 0.5900 pF, the electrodes are 4.400 cm² in area, and the limb is 3.000 cm in diameter, what is the (average) dielectric constant of the tissue in the limb?
