A capacitor of capacitance 1 µF is filled with two dielectrics of dielectric constants 4 and 6. What is the new capacitance?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Initially, the capacitance of capacitor
When it is filled with dielectrics of dielectric constants 
and 
as shown, then there are two capacitors connected in parallel. So, 
(as area becomes half)
Using Eq. (i),
we obtain
