The separation between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $d$ and the area of each plate is $A$. When a slab of material of dielectric constant $k$ and thickness $t$ $(t < d)$ is introduced between the plates,its capacitance becomes

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d + t(1 - \frac{1}{k})}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d + t(1 + \frac{1}{k})}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d - t(1 - \frac{1}{k})}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d - t(1 + \frac{1}{k})}$

The capacity of an air-filled parallel plate capacitor is $C_0$. One-half of the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of constant $K$ as shown in the figure. The new capacity becomes $C_n$. The ratio of $C_n$ to $C_0$ is:

$A$ combination of parallel plate capacitors is maintained at a certain potential difference. When a $3 \, mm$ thick slab is introduced between all the plates,in order to maintain the same potential difference,the distance between the plates is increased by $2.4 \, mm$. Find the dielectric constant of the slab.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of area $A$,plate separation $d$ and capacitance $C$ is filled with three different dielectric materials having dielectric constants $k_1, k_2$ and $k_3$ as shown in the figure. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance $C$ in this capacitor,then its dielectric constant $k$ is given by:

Assertion: When a battery remains connected,the electric potential energy increases if a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a capacitor.
Reason: When a battery remains connected,the charge on the plates of the capacitor remains the same.
