2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is $10\,\mu F$ without dielectric. Dielectric of constant $2$ is used to fill half the distance between the plates, the new capacitance in $\mu F$ is

A

$10$

B

$20$

C

$15$

D

$13.33$

Solution

(d) $C = \frac{{A{\varepsilon _0}}}{d} = 10\,\mu F$
${C_1} = \frac{{A{\varepsilon _0}}}{{d – t + \frac{t}{k}}} = \frac{{A{\varepsilon _0}}}{{d – \frac{d}{2} + \frac{d}{{2k}}}} = \frac{{A{\varepsilon _0}}}{{\frac{d}{2}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{2}} \right)}} = \frac{4}{3}.\frac{{A{\varepsilon _0}}}{d}$
 ${C_1} = \frac{4}{3} \times 10 = 13.33\,\mu F$
