Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{C}=\frac{\mathrm{kA} \varepsilon_0}{\mathrm{~d}} \\
& \therefore \frac{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{C}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_2}{\mathrm{k}_1} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}_1}{\mathrm{~d}_2} \\
& \therefore \frac{6}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_2}{1} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \\
& \therefore \mathrm{k}_2=6
\end{aligned}
