JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 25th January Evening Shift - No. 21)
A capacitor has capacitance 5$$\mu$$F when it's parallel plates are separated by air medium of thickness d. A slab of material of dielectric constant 1.5 having area equal to that of plates but thickness $$\frac{d}{2}$$ is inserted between the plates. Capacitance of the capacitor in the presence of slab will be __________ $$\mu$$F.
Answer
6

When completely air filled
$C=5 \mu \mathrm{F}=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} A}{d} \quad...(1)$
When half filled with $K=1.5$
$$ \begin{gathered} \frac{1}{C_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{\frac{d}{2}}{\varepsilon_{0} A}+\frac{\frac{d}{2}}{\varepsilon_{0} A K} \\\\ C_{\text {eq }}=\left(\frac{2 K}{K+1}\right) \frac{\varepsilon_{0} A}{d} \quad...(2) \end{gathered} $$
From (1) & (2)
$C_{\mathrm{eq}}=\left(\frac{2 \times 1.5}{1.5+1}\right) 5 \mu \mathrm{F}=6 \mu \mathrm{F}$
