2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance $C$. If the distance between the plates is doubled and the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $6$ , then the capacitance will become

A

$3 C$

B

$\frac{C}{3}$

C

$12 C$

D

$\frac{C}{6}$

Solution

(a)

$C=\frac{A \varepsilon_0}{d}$

$C^{\prime}=\frac{6 A \varepsilon_0}{2 d}=\frac{2 A \varepsilon_0}{d}$

$C^{\prime}=3 C$
