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
    $\left(\frac{K+1}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{K+1}{3}\right)$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{K+1}{4}\right)$
  • D
    $4(K+1)$

$A$ capacitor is made of a thin metal strip. Its capacitance is $2 \ \mu F$. If the space between the strips is filled with paper of thickness $0.15 \ mm$,dielectric constant $2.5$,and width $400 \ mm$,what is the length of the strip in meters?

$A$ capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $12 \,cm^2$ and they are $0.6 \,cm$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $12 \,cm^2$ and $0.6 \,cm$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $0.2 \,cm$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.834 \times 10^{-12} \,F/m$)
