Q.

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with air as medium is 6 μF. With the introduction of a dielectric medium, the capacitance becomes 30μF. The permittivity of the medium is (ε0=8.85×10-12C2N-1m-2)            [2020]
 

1 0.44×10-13C2N-1m-2  
2 1.77×10-12C2N-1m-2  
3 0.44×10-10C2N-1m-2  
4 5.00C2N-1m-2  

Ans.

(3)

Given: capacitance without dielectric, C=6 μF and capacitance with dielectric, C'=30μF.

    Dielectric constant, K=C'C=306=5.

Now, permittivity of the medium, ε=Kε0

=5×8.85×10-12=0.44×10-10C2N-1m-2
