Questions  

The plates in a parallel plates capacitor are separated by a distance d with air as the medium between the plates. In order to increase the capacity by 66% a dielectric slab of thickness 3d/5 is introduced between the plates. What is the dielectric constant of the dielectric slab?

a
5
b
3
c
1.66
d
1.5

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Capacity in air C=ε0AdC′=ε0A(d−t)+tk t=3d5 Given C′=166100C100166=(d−t)+tKdOn putting valuesK = 3
