JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

A combination of parallel plate capacitors is maintained at a certain potential difference When a \(3\, mm\) thick slab is introduced between all the plates, in order to maintain the same potential difference, the distance between the plates is increased by \(2.4\, mm\). Find the dielectric constant of the slab. 

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(6\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Before introducing a slab capacitance of plates \(C_{1}=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} A}{3}\) If a slab of dielectric constant \(K\) is introduced between plates then \(C=\frac{K \varepsilon_{0} A}{d}\) then \(C'_1 = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{{2.4}}\) \(\mathrm{C}_{1}\) and…
