A parallel plate condenser has a capacitance `50 muF` in air and `100 muF` when immersed in an oil. The dielectric constant `k` of the oil is

A

0.2

B

1.5

C

2.2

D

2.5

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_(m)=C_("air")xxk`
`therefore" "k=C_(m)/C_("air")=110/50=2.2`
