A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of 9 pF. What will be the capacitance if the distance between the plates is reduced to half and the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant 7?

  1. A \( 1.3 pF\)
  2. B \( 31.5 pF\)
  3. C \( 63 pF\)
  4. D \( 126pF\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 126pF\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( C_0 = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} = 9 \text{ pF} \) \( C' = \frac{\kappa' \epsilon_0 A}{d'} = \frac{7 \epsilon_0 A}{d/2} \) \( C' = 14 \left( \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} \right) = 14 C_0 \) \( C' = 14 \times 9 \text{ pF} = 126 \text{ pF} \)
