JEE Main2008PhysicsCapacitanceActual
A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of 9 pF . The separation between its plates is ' d '. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has dielectric constant k₁=3 and thickness d 3 while the other one has dielectric constant k ₂=6 and thickness 2 ~d 3 . Capacitance of the capacitor is now
Options
- A1.8 pF
- B45 pF
- C40.5 pF
- D20.25 pF
Correct answer
C. 40.5 pF
