A glass slab if introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. Does the capacitances of the capacitor increase, decrease or remain unchanged?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to insertion of glass slab between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance will increase. If k be the dielectric constant of a glass slab, its capacitance will be k times its previous value.
