Question

A parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of 1.77 uf . Find its capacitance if the space between the plates is filled completely with Dielectric of constant 6.7

Answer 1

The larger the dielectric constant, the more charge can be stared. completly filled the space between capacitar plates with a dielectric increase the capacitance by a factor of dielectric constant

C = KC₀

where C₀ is the capacitance with no dielectric b/w the plates

given C₀ = 1.77 μF

k = 6.7

then,

C = KC₀

C = 6.7 x 1.77 μF

C = 11.85 μF
