Assertion (A): If the distance between plates of a parallel plate capacitor is halved and the intervening space is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant 3, the capacitance of capacitor becomes 6 times of its original capacitance. Reason (R) : The capacitance of a capacitor does not depend on the material of the metal plates.

Answer»

If both assertion and REASON are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If the assertion is false but reason is true.

Solution :New CAPACITANCE `C. = (Kepsi_0A)/(d.) = (3epsi_0A)/(d/2) = 6 (epsi_0A)/d =6 C`, because capacitance is directly PROPORTIONAL to DIELECTRIC constant of intervening medium and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.
