MCQ
A parallel plate capacitor has a capacity $C$. The separation between the plates is doubled and a dielectric medium is introduced between the plates. If the capacity now becomes $2C$, the dielectric constant of the medium is
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $1$
  • $4$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4$
c
(c) ${C_1} = {\varepsilon _0}\frac{A}{{{d_1}}}$ and ${C_2} = K{\varepsilon _0}\frac{A}{{{d_2}}}$
 $\frac{{{C_1}}}{{{C_2}}} = \frac{1}{K} \times \frac{{{d_2}}}{{{d_1}}}$ $ = \frac{C}{{2C}} = \frac{1}{K} \times \frac{{2d}}{d}$

$K = 4$
