The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is 10 μF when the distance between its plate is 8 cm. If the distance between the plates is reduced to 4 cm, the capacity will be

a
10 μF
b
5 μF
c
20 μF
d
40 μF

detailed solution

Correct option is C

C=ε0Ad  or  10=ε0A8When the distance becomes d' , than new capacityC′=ε0Ad′  or  C′=ε0A4 ∴ C′10=84  or  C′=804=20μF
