A slab of material of dielectric constant K has the same area as the plates of a parallel capacitor, but has a thickness `((3)/(4) d)`,
where d is the separation of the plates. How is the capacitance changed when the slab is inserted between the plates

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how the capacitance changes when a dielectric slab is inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Capacitance**: The initial capacitance \( C_1 \) of a parallel plate capacitor without any dielectric is given by the formula: \[ C_1 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} ...
