A parallel plate capacitor filled with oil of dielectric constant 3 between the plates, has a capacitance 'C'. If the oil is completely removed, then the capacitance of the capacitor will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor filled with a dielectric of constant is given by .
Given , the initial capacitance is .
When the oil is completely removed, the medium between the plates becomes air or vacuum, for which the dielectric constant is .
The new capacitance becomes .
From the initial equation, we have .
Therefore, the new capacitance is .
