    A capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and they are $0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and $0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $\left.\in_0=8.834 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~F} / \mathrm{m}\right)$
