Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance
A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plate has a capacitance of 15pF The separation between the plate becomes twice and the space between them is filled with a medium of dielectric constant 3.5. Then the capacitance becomes 4xpF The value of x is _______
Answer
The correct answer is 105.
C0=d∈0A=15pF
C=2dK∈0A=23.5×15pF=4105pF
