2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium
There is an air filled $1\,pF$ parallel plate capacitor. When the plate separation is doubled and the space is filled with wax, the capacitance increases to $2\,pF$. The dielectric constant of wax is
A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$6$
D
$8$
Solution
(b) $C = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d} = 1\,pF$ and $C' = \frac{{K{\varepsilon _0}A}}{{2d}} = 2\,pF$
$K = 4.$
