2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium
The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are charged up to $100\, volt$. A $2\, mm$ thick plate is inserted between the plates, then to maintain the same potential difference, the distance between the capacitor plates is increased by $1.6\, mm$. The dielectric constant of the plate is
A
$5$
B
$1.25$
C
$4$
D
$2.5$
Solution

$\mathrm{Ed}=\mathrm{V}=(\mathrm{d}+1.6-2) \mathrm{E}+\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{K}} \cdot 2$
$\frac{2}{{\text{K}}} = \frac{4}{{10}}\quad \boxed{{\text{K}} = 5}$
