Question

A capacitor of 3.0 uF with air is filled with a dielectric (k = 2.8). The new capacitance is
Options
A 9.0 uF
B 8.4 uF
Correct Answer
C 8.0 uF
D 9.4 uF
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

C_new = k C_old = 2.8 x 3.0 = 8.4 uF.

Hint

C_new = k C_old = 2.8 x 3.0 = 8.4 uF.
