Questions  

There is an air filled 1 pF parallel plate capacitor. When the plate separation is doubled and the space is filled with wax, the capacitance increases to 2 pF. The dielectric constant of wax is 

a
2
b
4
c
6
d
8

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Here, C=ε0Ad and C′=Kε0A2d∴ C′C=K2  or  21=K2  or  K=4
