Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance

Question
CBSEENPH12038955

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of 8 pF (1pF = 10–12 F). What will be the capacitance if the distance between the plates is reduced by half, and the space between them is filled with a substance of dielectric constant 6? 

Solution

Given, capacitance, C1 = 8 pF

C1 = εoAd = 8 pF C2= KεoAd/2 = 6×2 εoAd = 12× 8 = 96 pF
