    The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is \[10\,\mu \,F\], when the distance between its plates is 8 cm. If the distance between the plates is reduced to 4 cm, then the capacity of this parallel plate condenser will be              [CBSE PMT 2001]

    A)            \[5\,\mu \,F\]                      

    B)            \[10\,\mu \,F\]

    C)            \[20\,\mu \,F\]

    D)            \[40\,\mu \,F\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[C\propto \frac{1}{d}\Rightarrow \frac{{{C}_{1}}}{{{C}_{2}}}=\frac{{{d}_{2}}}{{{d}_{1}}}\] so \[\frac{{{C}_{2}}}{10}=\frac{8}{4}\Rightarrow {{C}_{2}}=20\mu F\]
