Question

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $8 p E (1 p E = 10^{- 12} F)$ . What will be the capacitance if the distance between the plates is reduced by half, and the space between them is filled with a substance of dielectric constant $6$ ?

Solution

Given condition:
Capacitance $(C) = \frac{ϵ_{0} A}{d} = 8 p F$

Now, $C^{'} = \frac{K ϵ_{0} A}{d^{'}}$

Given, $d^{'} = \frac{d}{2}$

$K = 6$

$C^{'} = \frac{6 ϵ_{0} A}{\frac{d}{2}}$

$C^{'} = \frac{12 ϵ_{0} A}{d}$

Putting values of $C, C^{'} = 12 C$

$= 12 \times 8 \times 1 p F$

$= 96 p F$
