The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze how the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor changes when the distance between the plates is doubled and a dielectric material is introduced. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for capacitance**: The capacitance \( C \) of a parallel plate capacitor without a dielectric is given by the formula: \[ C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{D} \] where \( \varepsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, \( A \) is the area of the plates, and \( D \) is the distance between the plates. 2. **Identify the initial conditions**: The initial capacitance is given as \( C \). Therefore, we can express it as: \[ C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{D} \] 3. **Change in distance**: According to the problem, the distance between the plates is doubled. Thus, the new distance \( D' \) becomes: \[ D' = 2D \] 4. **Introduce the dielectric**: The space between the plates is filled with a dielectric material that has a dielectric constant \( K = 3 \). The new permittivity \( \varepsilon' \) of the capacitor becomes: \[ \varepsilon' = K \cdot \varepsilon_0 = 3 \varepsilon_0 \] 5. **Calculate the new capacitance**: The new capacitance \( C' \) with the dielectric and the new distance can be expressed as: \[ C' = \frac{\varepsilon' A}{D'} = \frac{3 \varepsilon_0 A}{2D} \] 6. **Relate the new capacitance to the original capacitance**: We can substitute the original capacitance \( C \) into the equation: \[ C' = \frac{3 \varepsilon_0 A}{2D} = \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{D} = \frac{3}{2} C \] 7. **Final result**: Thus, the new capacitance \( C' \) of the capacitor is: \[ C' = \frac{3}{2} C \] ### Conclusion: The capacity of the condenser after doubling the distance and filling it with a dielectric of constant 3 becomes \( \frac{3}{2} C \). ---
