PhysicsElectrostatic Potential and CapacitanceMHT CET 2026

A capacitor has capacity C when its parallel plates are separated by air medium of thickness 'd'. A slab of material of dielectric constant K having area equal to that of plates but thickness is inserted between the plates. Capacitance of the capacitor in the presence of slab will be

Answer: (D)

Solution

Originally . With a full-area slab of thickness , the capacitor is equivalent to two capacitors in series: an air gap of and a dielectric of . The effective separation is $ + =
