Question

The capacitance of a conductor in vacuum is 10 F. If it is put in a medium of relative permittivity 5, the capacitance will be : (A) unchanged (B) 2 F (C) 50 F (D) 9×109×5×10F

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Capacitance in a medium = dielectric constant × capacitance in vacuum.

Q. The capacitance of a conductor in vacuum is $10 F$ . If it is put in a medium of relative permittivity $5$ , the capacitance will be :

unchanged

2 F

50 F

$9 \times 1 0^{9} \times 5 \times 10 F$

Capacitance in a medium = dielectric constant $\times$ capacitance in vacuum.
