2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

An uncharged parallel plate capacitor having a dielectric of constant $K$ is connected to a similar air-cored parallel capacitor charged to a potential $V$. The two share the charge and the common potential is $V'$. The dielectric constant $K$ is

A

$\frac{{V' - V}}{{V' + V}}$

B

$\frac{{V' - V}}{{V'}}$

C

$\frac{{V' - V}}{{V}}$

D

$\frac{{V - V'}}{{V'}}$

Solution

$\mathrm{V}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{C}_{1} \mathrm{V}_{1}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{V}_{2}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}+\mathrm{C}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}+\mathrm{KC0}}{\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{K}+1)}$

$\mathrm{V}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{K}+1} \Rightarrow \mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{V}-\mathrm{V}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{V}^{\prime}}$
