A parallel plate capacitor with plate area and plate separation has a capacitance of . The new capacitance of the system if half of the space between them is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant (as shown in figure) will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
This parallel plate capacitor can be divided into two capacitors. One with dielectric and other without dielectric\left({C}_{2}\right)C = \dfrac{{ε}_{0}A}{d} = 4\mu F{C}_{1} = \dfrac{k{ε}_{0}A}{\dfrac{d}{2}} = \dfrac{2 \times 3 \times {ε}_{0}A}{d} = 24\mu F{C}_{2} = \dfrac{{ε}_{0}A}{\dfrac{d}{2}} = \dfrac{2 \times {ε}_{0}A}{d} = 8\mu F{C}^{'} = \dfrac{{C}_{1}{C}_{2}}{{C}_{1} + {C}_{2}} = \dfrac{24 \times 8}{24 + 8} = 6\mu F
