NEETPhysicsCapacitance
What effect would occur if a 3 mm thick mica sheet (with a dielectric constant of 6) were inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, where each plate has an area of 6 × 10 ⁻³ m² and the distance between the plates is 3 mm, while the voltage supply remained connected? Options:
