The distance between two plates of a capacitor is dd and its capacitance is C1{C}_{1}, when air is the medium between the plates. If a metal sheet of thickness 2d3\dfrac{2d}{3} and of the same area as plate is introduced between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor becomes C2{C}_{2} . The ratio C2C1\dfrac{{C}_{2}}{{C}_{1}} isThe distance between two plates of a capacitor is d and its capacitance is C _ 1 , when air is the medium between theThe distance between two plates of a capacitor is d and its capacitance is C _ 1 , when air is the medium between the

Options

  1. A3:13: 1
  2. B2:12: 1
  3. C4:14: 1
  4. D1:11: 1

Correct answer

A. 3:13: 1

Step-by-step solution

The distance between two plates of a capacitor is d and its capacitance is C _ 1 , when air is the medium between the

The formula of capacitance is C1=(ε0Ad){C}_{1} = \left(\dfrac{{ε}_{0}A}{d}\right)

The distance between two plates of a capacitor is d and its capacitance is C _ 1 , when air is the medium between the

The dielectric constant of metal sheet is Kmetal=∞{K}_{metal} = \infty

The new value of capacitance is

C2=ε0Ad−t+tKmetal=ε0Ad−2d3+0=3C1{C}_{2} = \dfrac{{ε}_{0}A}{d - t + \dfrac{t}{{K}_{metal}}} = \dfrac{{ε}_{0}A}{d - \dfrac{2d}{3} + 0} = 3{C}_{1}

Clearly, the ratio,

C2C1=3C1C1=3:1\dfrac{{C}_{2}}{{C}_{1}} = \dfrac{3{C}_{1}}{{C}_{1}} = 3: 1
