Question

Two identical capacitors: air and oil, same charge. Ratio E_air/E_oil?
Options
A between 0 and 1
B 0
C 1
D between 1 and infinity
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

E = σ/ε = Q/(Aε). For same Q, E ∝ 1/ε. ε_oil > ε_air, so E_air > E_oil → ratio > 1.

Hint

E ∝ 1/ε.
