Q.

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of 15 pF. The separation between the plates becomes twice and the space between them is filled with a medium of dielectric constant 3.5. Then the capacitance becomes x4 pF. The value of x is _________.                   [2023]


Ans.

(105)

C0=ε0Ad=15 pF

C=Kε0A2d=3.52×15 pF=1054 pF
