The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor when a very thin metallic sheet is placed in the space between the plates, parallel to the plates , will
(1) Increase (2) Decreases
(3) Remain same (4) Nothing can be said

A

Increase

B

Decrease

C

Remain same

D

Nothing can be said

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Answer (3)
`because C= (epsilon_(0)A)/(d)` (for metal plate of thickness t inserted between plates of capacitor )
It t is very less then
`C=(epsilon_(0)A)/(d)`
So capacity remains unchanged .
