A metal foil of neglible thickness is introduced between two parallel plates of a capacitor at the centre. The new capacitance of the capacitor would be :

  1. A C
  2. B 4C
  3. C C/2
  4. D 2C
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) C

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Original capacitance: \( C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} \) New capacitance with conducting foil of thickness \( t \): \( C' = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d-t} \) For negligible thickness \( (t \to 0) \): \( C' = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} = C \)
