2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

In a parallel plate capacitor the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $2$ is introduced between the plates due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity to the original value the separation between the plates must be made......$mm$

A

$1.5$

B

$2.5$

C

$3.5$

D

$4.5$

Solution

(c) $K = \frac{t}{{t – d'}}$ $==>$ $2 = \frac{1}{{1 – d'}}$ ==> $d' = \frac{1}{2}\,mm$
So new distance $ = 3 + \frac{1}{2} = 3.5\,mm$
