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

A parallel plate capacitor is having separation between plates \(0.885\) mm. It has a capacitance of \(1\,\mu\)F when the space between the plates is filled with an insulating material of resistivity \(1\times 10^{13}\,\Omega\)m and resistance \(17.7\times 10^{14}\,\Omega\). Relative permittivity of the insulating material is \(\alpha\times 10^7\). The value of \(\alpha\) is ________. (Take permittivity of free space \(=8.85\times 10^{-12}\) F/m)

  1. A 0
  2. B 2
  3. C 4
  4. D 6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The resistance of the insulating material is given by \(R = \dfrac{\rho d}{A}\). The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by \(C = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A}{d}\). Multiplying the expressions for \(R\) and \(C\), we get: \(RC = \rho \epsilon_0 \epsilon_r\)…
