In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance

In a parallel plate capacitor, the separation between the plates is 3mm with air between them. Now a 1mm thick layer of a material of dielectric constant 2 is introduced between the plates due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity of the original value, the separation between the plates must be made-

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor can be increased by

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor can be increased by

Can you place a parallel plate capacitor of one farad capacity in your house ?

An air parallel plate capacitor has capacity C. When the area and distance between the plates is doubled, the capacitance is C_(1) , then (C_(1))/(C ) is -

A parallel plate capacitor has a capacity c. If a medium of dielectric constant K is introduced between plates, the capacity of capacitor becomes

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacity C, two parallel plates of the same material and same area as the plates of the original capacitor are placed. If the thickness of each plate =(1)/(5) the distance between the plates of the original capacitor, then the capacity of the new capacitor will be

In a parallel plate capacitor with air, the distance between the plates is reduced to half and the space is filled with dielectric of constant 4. If initial capacity of capacitor is 2muF , then final value of capacity is

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacity C_(1) are moved closer together until they are half their original separation. What is the new capacitance?
