A parallel-plate air capacitor has a capacity '', distance with a separation '', a dielectric material with a dielectric constant '' between plates, and a potential difference with a '' volt applied between plates. The force of attraction between the plates is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The capacitance of the air capacitor is given by , where is the area of the plates.
When a dielectric material of dielectric constant is introduced between the plates, the new capacitance becomes .
The charge on the capacitor plates when a potential difference is applied is .
The magnitude of the force of attraction between the plates of the capacitor is given by .
Substituting and , we get:
