Question

A capacitor has a capacitance of $50 p F$ , which increases to $175 p F$ with a dielectric material between its plates. What is the dielectric constant of the material?

Open in App

Solution

New Capacitance

$C_{n e w} = k C$

$k = \frac{C_{n e w}}{C} = \frac{175}{50} = 3.5$

Dielectric constant is $3.5$
