    The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is \[C\]. Its capacity when the separation between the plates is halved will be [CPMT 1984]

    A)                    \[4C\]

    B)                                      \[2C\]

    C)                    \[\frac{C}{2}\]              

    D)            \[\frac{C}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[C=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}.\,C'=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d/2}\] Þ \[8{{r}^{3}}={{R}^{3}}\]
