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

A parallel plate capacitor with plate separation 5 mm is charged by a battery. On introducing a mica sheet of 2 mm and maintaining the connections of the plates with the terminals of the battery, it is found that it draws \(25 \%\) more charge from the battery. The dielectric constant of mica is ___________ .

  1. A 2.5
  2. B 2.0
  3. C 1.5
  4. D 1.0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2.0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C =\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{ d }\) \(Q _1= CV\) \(Q _2=\left( c _{ eq }\right) v\) \(Q _2=1.25 cv\) \(c_{e q}=\frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1+C_2}=\frac{\frac{\in_0 A}{3} \times \frac{K \in_0 A}{2}}{\frac{\in_0 A}{3}+\frac{K \in_0 A}{2}}\)…
