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

The distance between two plates of a capacitor is \(d\) and its capacitance is \(C _1\), when air is the medium between the plates. If a metal sheet of thickness \(\frac{2 d }{3}\) and of same area as plate is introduced between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor becomes \(C _2\). The ratio \(\frac{ C _2}{ C _1}\) is:

  1. A \(2: 1\)
  2. B \(4: 1\)
  3. C \(3: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K _{\text {metal sheet }}=\infty, t =\frac{2 d }{3}\) \(C _1=\frac{\in_0 A }{ d }\) \(C _2=\frac{\in_0 A }{ d - t +\frac{ t }{ k }}=\frac{\in_0 A }{ d -\frac{2 d }{3}+0}=3 C _1\) \(\frac{ C _2}{ C _1}=3\)
