In a parallel plate capacitor, the radius of each circular plate is $12\,cm$ and the distance between the plates is $5\,mm$. A glass slab of $3\,mm$ thickness and radius $12\,cm$ with a dielectric constant of $6$ is placed between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor will be:

  • A
    $144 \times 10^{-9}\,F$
  • B
    $40\,pF$
  • C
    $160\,pF$
  • D
    $1.44\,\mu F$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two plates of length $l$,width $w$ and separated by distance $d$. $A$ dielectric slab (dielectric constant $K$) that fits exactly between the plates is held near the edge of the plates. It is pulled into the capacitor by a force $F = -\frac{\partial U}{\partial x}$ where $U$ is the energy of the capacitor when the dielectric is inside the capacitor up to distance $x$ (See figure). If the charge on the capacitor is $Q$,then the force on the dielectric when it is near the edge is

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of area $A$,plate separation $d$ and capacitance $C$ is filled with three different dielectric materials having dielectric constants $k_1, k_2$ and $k_3$ as shown in the figure. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance $C$ in this capacitor,then its dielectric constant $k$ is given by:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity $C$. The separation between the plates is doubled and a dielectric medium is introduced between the plates. If the capacity now becomes $2C$,the dielectric constant of the medium is

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $C_0$. If a dielectric slab of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ and thickness equal to one-fourth of the distance between the plates is inserted,the new capacitance is $C$. Then,the ratio $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is halved and a dielectric medium of relative permittivity $10$ is introduced between the plates. The ratio of the final and initial capacitances of the capacitor is
