NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

A parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of 20 pF. If a dielectric slab with a dielectric constant of 4 is inserted completely between the plates, what will be the new capacitance?

A

80 pF

B

5 pF

C

60 pF

D

20 pF

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The capacitance of a capacitor increases by a factor equal to the dielectric constant when a dielectric is inserted. Hence, 20 pF multiplied by 4 results in 80 pF.
