Question
On inserting a dielectric between the plates of a capacitor, its capacitance is found to increase 5 times. What is the relative permittivity of the dielectric?
Solution
Given, capacitance increases by a factor of 5 on inserting a delectric between the plates of a capacitor.
Relative permittivity of the dielectric is given by.
Relative permittivity of the dielectric is given by.
