The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is 10μF when the distance between its plates is 8 cm. If the distance between the plates is reduced to 4 cm then the capacity of this parallel plate condenser will be ?

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is 10μF when the distance between its plates is 8 cm. If the distance between the plates is reduced to 4 cm then the capacity of this parallel plate condenser will be ?


(a) 5μF

(b) 10μF

(c) 20μF

(d) 40μF


Answer :  (c) 20μF




\( C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} \)


\( 10\,\mu\text{F} = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{8\, \text{cm}} \)


\( C_2 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{4\, \text{cm}} \)


\( C_2 = 20\,\mu\text{F} \)
