For changing the capacitance of a given parallel plate capacitor,a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is used,which has the same area as the plates of the capacitor. The thickness of the dielectric slab is $\frac{3}{4} d$,where $d$ is the separation between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor. The new capacitance $(C')$ in terms of original capacitance $(C_{0})$ is given by the following relation:

  • A
    $C' = \frac{3+K}{4K} C_{0}$
  • B
    $C' = \frac{4+K}{3} C_{0}$
  • C
    $C' = \frac{4K}{K+3} C_{0}$
  • D
    $C' = \frac{4}{3+K} C_{0}$
