2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
hard
If a slab of insulating material $4 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,m$ thick is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, the separation between plates has to be increased by $3.5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,m$ to restore the capacity to original value. The dielectric constant of the material will be
A
$6$
B
$8$
C
$10$
D
$12$
Solution
(b) $K = \frac{t}{{t – d'}} = \frac{{4 \times {{10}^{ – 3}}}}{{4 \times {{10}^{ – 3}} – 3.5 \times {{10}^{ – 3}}}} = 8$
