2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy
If the distance between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is halved and the dielectric constant of dielectric is doubled, then its capacity will
A
Increase by $16$ times
B
Increase by $4$ times
C
Increase by $2$ times
D
Remain the same
Solution
(b) $C = \frac{{K{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d} \propto \frac{K}{d}$
Hence, $\frac{{{C_1}}}{{{C_2}}} = \frac{{{K_1}}}{{{K_2}}} \times \frac{{{d_2}}}{{{d_1}}} = \frac{K}{{2K}} \times \frac{{d/2}}{d} = \frac{1}{4}$
Therefore, $ C_2 = 4C_1$
