2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

A parallel plate condenser is connected with the terminals of a battery. The distance between the plates is $6\,mm$. If a glass plate (dielectric constant $K = 9$) of $4.5\,mm$ is introduced between them, then the capacity will become.......$times$

A

$2$ 

B

The same

C

$3$ 

D

$4$

Solution

(c)$C \propto \frac{1}{d}$ $==>$ $\frac{{{C_{medium}}}}{{{C_{air}}}} = \frac{d}{{d – t + \frac{t}{K}}} = \frac{6}{{6 – 4.5 + \frac{{4.5}}{9}}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$
