A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of `5 muF`. It becomes `50 muF` when a dielectric medium occupies the entire space between its two plates. What is the dielectric constant of the medium ?

Explanation

To find the dielectric constant of the medium, we can use the relationship between the capacitance of a capacitor with and without a dielectric.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the given values**:
- Initial capacitance of the air capacitor, \( C_0 = 5 \, \mu F \)
- Capacitance with the dielectric, \( C = 50 \, \mu F \)
