A parallel plate capacitor filled with oil of a dielectric constant 3 between the plates has capacitance ' \(C\) '. If the oil is removed, then the capacitance of the capacitor will be

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(\frac{C}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{C}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\mathrm{C}=\frac{\mathrm{K} \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{~A}}{\mathrm{~d}}=\frac{3 \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{~A}}{\mathrm{~d}}
\)
After removing the oil, capacitance becomes
\(
\mathrm{C}^{\prime}=\frac{\varepsilon_0 \mathrm{~A}}{\mathrm{~d}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}
\)
