A parallel plate capacitor with plate separation 5mm is charged up...

A parallel plate capacitor with plate separation 5mm5mm is charged up by a battery. It is found that on introducing a dielectric sheet of thickness 2mm2mm, while keeping the battery connections intact, the capacitor draws 2525 % more charge from the battery than before. The dielectric constant of the sheet is ____.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Without dielectric, capacitance will be C=Aε0dC = \dfrac{A{ε}_{0}}{d}.

Therefore, charge on it, Q=Aε0dVQ = \dfrac{A{ε}_{0}}{d}V

Now, with dielectric capacitance will be C′=Aε0d−t+tK{C}^{'} = \dfrac{A{ε}_{0}}{d - t + \dfrac{t}{K}}.

Hence, charge on it will be Q′=Aε0Vd−t+tK{Q}^{'} = \dfrac{A{ε}_{0}V}{d - t + \dfrac{t}{K}}

Given:

Aε0Vd−t+tK=(1.25)Aε0Vd\dfrac{A{ε}_{0}V}{d - t + \dfrac{t}{K}} = \left(1 . 25\right)\dfrac{A{ε}_{0}V}{d}

⇒1.25(3+2K)=5⇒ 1 . 25\left(3 + \dfrac{2}{K}\right) = 5

⇒K=2⇒ K = 2
