The separation between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is d and the area of each plate is A. iff a dielectric slab of thickness x and dielectric constant K is introduced between the plates, then the capacitance will be

A

`(epsi_(0)A)/(d-x(1-(1)/(K)))`

B

`(epsi_(0)A)/(d+x(1-(1)/(K)))`

C

`(epsi_(0)A)/(d+x(1+(1)/(K)))`

D

`(epsi_(0)A)/(d-x(1+(2)/(K)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`C=(epsi_(0)A)/((d-x)+(x)/(K))=(epsi_(0)A)/(d-x(1-(1)/(K)))`
