Question 614: Electrostats & Capacitance

Question

A parallel plate capacitor filled with oil of a dielectric constant 3 between the plates has capacitance 'C'. If the oil is removed, then the capacitance of the capacitor will be

Accepted Answer

If dielectric of dielectric constant k is placed between the plates of a capacitor its capacitance increase k times. If it is removed the capacitance will become $$\mathrm{\frac{1}{k}}$$ times.

Answer
