A parallel plate capacitor is filled by a dielectric whose relative permittivity varies with the applied voltage (U) as $\in=\alpha\text{U}$ where $\alpha=2\text{V}^{-1}$. A similar capacitor with no dielectric is charged to U0 = 78V. It is then connected to the uncharged capacitor with the dielectric. Find the final voltage on the capacitors.
