Question

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are charged up to 100 V. Now, after removing the battery, a 2 mm thick plate is inserted between the plates. Then, to maintain the same potential difference, the distance between the plates is increased by 1.6 mm. Dielectric constant of the plate is

Solution

The correct option is A 5
Initially,
and finally
and that can be redrawn as

As Q, V are constant C should also be constant.
Cf=C1×C2C1+C2=kε0A2×ε0A(d0.4)kε0A2+ε0A(d0.4)
Therfore,

ε0Ad=kε0A2×ε0A(d0.4)kε0A2+ε0A(d0.4)

On solving this, you get k=5.
