Current Question (ID: 20175)

Question:
$\text{A parallel plate capacitor with plate area } A \text{ and plate separation } d = 2 \text{ m has a capacitance of } 4 \, \mu\text{F.}$ $\text{The new capacitance of the system if half of the space between them is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant } K = 3 \text{ (as shown in the figure) will be:}$
Options:
  • 1. $2 \, \mu\text{F}$
  • 2. $32 \, \mu\text{F}$
  • 3. $6 \, \mu\text{F}$
  • 4. $8 \, \mu\text{F}$
Solution:
$\text{The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by } C = \frac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d}.$ $\text{When half of the space is filled with a dielectric, the system can be considered as two capacitors in parallel:}$ $C_1 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d/2} = \frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}, \quad C_2 = \frac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d/2} = \frac{2K \varepsilon_0 A}{d}.$ $\text{The total capacitance is } C = C_1 + C_2 = \frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d} + \frac{2K \varepsilon_0 A}{d} = \frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}(1 + K).$ $\text{Substituting } K = 3, \text{ we get } C = \frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}(1 + 3) = \frac{8 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}.$ $\text{Given } C_0 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} = 4 \, \mu\text{F}, \text{ so } C = 8 \, \mu\text{F}.$
