COMEDK · Physics · 18. Capacitance

The region between the parallel plates of capacitor is filled with parallel layers of air and paper (of dielectric constant 4). The space between the plates is \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\) and the thickness of paper is \(0.75 \mathrm{~mm}\). The ratio of the voltage across air and paper is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{4}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown below \[ d=1 \mathrm{~mm} \] Thickness of paper, \(t=0.75 \mathrm{~mm}\) According to diagram, it is clear that given capacitor is equivalent to a two capacitors connected in series. In series combination, charge on each capacitor is same. Hence,…
