    A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of \[100\mu \mu F\].  The plates are at a distance \[d\]apart. If a slab of thickness   \[t(t\le d)\]and dielectric constant 5 is introduced between the parallel plates, then the capacitance will be                    [MP PMT 2003]

    A)                    \[50\mu \mu F\]

    B)                                      \[100\mu \mu F\]

    C)                    \[200\mu \mu F\]

    D)            \[500\mu \mu F\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Capacitance will increase but not 5 times (because dielectric is not filled completely). Hence new capacitance may be 200 mmF.
