Question

A parallel plate capacitor with air has a capacity of 8 pF. Calculate the capacity of the capacitor if the distance between the plates in halved and the space between them is fully filled with a substance of dielectric constant 5.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Capacitance is given by:
C=KεoAd

K=5
d=d/2
C=10C=80 pF
