PHY 102 Capacitors and Capacitance Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

A parallel plate capacitor with air has capacitance 10 pF. When filled with a dielectric, its capacitance becomes 50 pF. What is the dielectric constant?
Options
A 2
B 5
Correct Answer
C 10
D 0.2
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

K = C/C₀ = 50 pF / 10 pF = 5.

Hint

Dielectric constant = capacitance with dielectric / capacitance with vacuum.
