Electrostatics Question 805

Question: A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of 100μF. The plates are at a distance d apart. If a slab of thickness t(t<d) and dielectric constant 5 is introduced between the parallel plates, then the capacitance will be

Options:

A) 50μF

B) 100μF

C) 200μF

D) 500μF

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Capacitance will increase but not 5 times (Because dielectric is not filled completely). Hence, new capacitance maybe 200μF ,
