Post Utme Babcock University 2018 Physics Objective / Multiple Choice
Question 6 POST_UTME_BABCOCK_UNIVERSITY • 2018 • PHYSICS • objective

A parallel plate capacitor with plates of area $A$ and separation $d$ is connected to a battery of emf $V$. If the dielectric cons\tant of the material between the plates is $kappa$, the capaci\tance of the capacitor is given by $C = \frac{kappa A epsilon_0}{d}$. If the battery is disconnected and a dielectric slab of thickness $t$ and dielectric cons\tant $kappa'$ is inserted between the plates, the new capaci\tance is given by $C' = \frac{kappa' A epsilon_0}{d - t}$. What is the ratio of the new capaci\tance to the original capaci\tance?

Answer Options

A. 1
B. \frac{\kappa'}{\kappa}
Correct Answer C. \frac{\kappa'}{\kappa} \left\( 1 + \frac{t}{d}\right \)
D. \frac{\kappa'}{\kappa} \left\( 1 - \frac{t}{d}\right \)
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
\frac{\kappa'}{\kappa} \left\( 1 + \frac{t}{d}\right \)
