In a parallel plate capacitor, the radius of each circular plate is $12\,cm$ and the distance between the plates is $5\,mm$. A glass slab of $3\,mm$ thickness and radius $12\,cm$ with a dielectric constant of $6$ is placed between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor will be:

  • A
    $144 \times 10^{-9}\,F$
  • B
    $40\,pF$
  • C
    $160\,pF$
  • D
    $1.44\,\mu F$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor,partially filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$,is connected to a cell of emf $V \text{ volt}$,as shown in the figure. The separation between the plates is $D$. Then:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ and a separation distance of $100 \ mm$. It contains two dielectric layers: one with a dielectric constant of $10$ and a thickness of $6 \ mm$,and another with a dielectric constant of $5$ and a thickness of $4 \ mm$. Find the capacitance of the capacitor.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity $80 \times 10^{-6} \ F$ when air is present between its plates. The space between the plates is filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $20$. The capacitor is now connected to a battery of $30 \ V$. The dielectric slab is then removed. The charge passing through the wire is:

Assertion : If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and the dielectric constant is increased to three times its original value,then the capacitance becomes $6$ times.
Reason : The capacity of a capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material between the plates.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ has spacing $d$ between two plates having area $A$. The region between the plates is filled with $N$ dielectric layers,parallel to its plates,each with thickness $\delta = \frac{d}{N}$. The dielectric constant of the $m^{\text{th}}$ layer is $K_m = K(1 + \frac{m}{N})$. For a very large $N (> 10^3)$,the capacitance $C$ is $\alpha \left( \frac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d \ln 2} \right)$. The value of $\alpha$ will be. . . . . . . .
