A parallel plate capacitor having cross-sectional area AA and separation dd has air in between the plates. Now an insulating slab of the same area but the thickness, d2\dfrac{d}{2}, is inserted between the plates as shown in figure having dielectric constant K(=4).K ( = 4 ) . The ratio of new capacitance to its original capacitance will be,

Options

  1. A2:12: 1
  2. B8:58: 5
  3. C6:56: 5
  4. D4:14: 1

Correct answer

B. 8:58: 5

Step-by-step solution

First, recall the formula of capacity of a parallel plate capacitor at free space in terms of cross-section area and separation between plates,C0=ϵ0Ad{C}_{0} = \dfrac{{ϵ}_{0}A}{d}, when~ a dielectric slabs of thickness,& tt~and dielectric constant& kk, inserted between plates then-new capacitance becomes,~

Ck=ϵ0Ad−t+tk⇒Ck=ϵ0Ad−d2+d8{C}_{k} = \dfrac{{ϵ}_{0}A}{d - t + \dfrac{t}{k}}⇒ {C}_{k} = \dfrac{{ϵ}_{0}A}{d - \dfrac{d}{2} + \dfrac{d}{8}}, here~t=d2t = \dfrac{d}{2}.

⇒Ck=85ϵ0Ad⇒Ck=85C0⇒CkC0=85⇒ {C}_{k} = \dfrac{8}{5}\dfrac{{ϵ}_{0}A}{d}⇒ {C}_{k} = \dfrac{8}{5}{C}_{0}⇒ \dfrac{Ck}{C0} = \dfrac{8}{5}
