In a parallel plate capacitor the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $2$ is introduced between the plates due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity to the original value the separation between the plates must be made......$mm$
