The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are charged up to $100\,V$. $A$ $2\,mm$ thick dielectric plate is inserted between the plates. To maintain the same potential difference,the distance between the capacitor plates is increased by $1.6\,mm$. The dielectric constant of the plate is:

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $1.25$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $2.5$
