In a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$,a metal sheet is inserted between the plates,parallel to them. If the thickness of the sheet is half of the separation between the plates,the new capacitance will be:

  • A
    $C/2$
  • B
    $3C/4$
  • C
    $4C$
  • D
    $2C$

The capacitance of a capacitor becomes $\frac{7}{6}$ times the original value if a dielectric slab of thickness $t = \frac{2d}{3}$ is introduced between the plates, where $d$ is the distance of separation between the plates. The dielectric constant of the slab is

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ has spacing $d$ between two plates having area $A$. The region between the plates is filled with $N$ dielectric layers,parallel to its plates,each with thickness $\delta = \frac{d}{N}$. The dielectric constant of the $m^{\text{th}}$ layer is $K_m = K(1 + \frac{m}{N})$. For a very large $N (> 10^3)$,the capacitance $C$ is $\alpha \left( \frac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d \ln 2} \right)$.
