    The plates of a parallel plat capacitor with air as medium are separated by a distance of 8 mm. A medium of dielectric constant 2 and thickness 4 mm having the same area is introduced between the plates. For the capacitance to remain the same, the distance between the plates is

    A)  8 mm                   

    B)         6 mm   

    C)         4 mm                   

    D)         12 mm

    E)  10 mm

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Original capacity, with air \[C=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}\] When dielectric plate (medium) of thickness t is introduced between the plates, then capacity becomes                 \[C=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d-t\left( 1-\frac{1}{K} \right)}\] but as given,\[C=C\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d-t\left( 1-\frac{1}{K} \right)}\] Or           \[d=d-t+\frac{t}{K}\] Or           \[8=d-4+\frac{4}{2}\] Or           \[8=d-2\] Or           \[d=10\,mm\]
