What is the dielectric constant of the medium if the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor increases from 40F to 80F on introducing a dielectric medium between the plates?(a) 20(b) 0.5(c) 2(d) 5This question was addressed to me in a national level competition.My question is based upon Effect of Dielectric on Capacitance topic in section Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (c) 2

To ELABORATE: Capacitance without dielectric = 40 F.

Capacitance with dielectric = 80 F.

K = \(\frac {80}{40}\)

k = 2.
