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

Three parallel plate capacitors \(\mathrm{C}_1, \mathrm{C}_2\) and \(\mathrm{C}_3\) each of capacitance \(5 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) are connected as shown in figure. The effective capacitance between points A and B, when the space between the parallel plates of \(C_1\) capacitor is filled with a dielectric medium having dielectric constant of 4, is :

  1. A \(22.5 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
  2. B \(7.5 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
  3. C \(9 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
  4. D \(30 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(9 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

After dielectric \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_1=4 \mathrm{C} \\ & \mathrm{C}_1=4 \times 5=20 \mu \mathrm{~F} \\ & \mathrm{C}_2=\mathrm{C}_3=5 \mu \mathrm{~F} \end{aligned}\) \(\mathrm{C}_1 \& \mathrm{C}_2\) are in series which is parallel to \(\mathrm{C}_3\) So…
