MCQ
Which material sheet should be placed between the plates of a parallel plate condenser in order to increase its capacitance ?
  • A
    Mica
  • B
    Copper
  • C
    Tin
  • D
    Iron

Answer

  1. Mica

Explanation:

Here copper, tin, iron all are conductor so they will decrease the capacitance. The mica sheet is a dielectric or insulator so it will increase the capacitance k times. Where k is the dielectric constant.
