A parallel plate capacitor with air as the dielectric has capacitance C. A slab of dielectric constant K and having the same thickness as the separation between the plates is introduced so as to fill one-fourth of the capacitor as shown in the figure. The new capacitance will be

               

  • K + 3 C4

  • K + 2 C4

  • K + 1 C4

  • KC4


A.

K + 3 C4

The condenser with air as the dielecric has capacitance

             C1 = ε0d 3A4 = 3ε0A3d

Similarly, the condenser with K as the dielectric constant has capacitance

             C2 = ε0Kd A4 = ε0AK4d

Since, C1 and C2 are in parallel

Cnet = C1 + C2       = 3ε0A4d + ε0AK4d       = ε0Ad 34 + K4 = C4 K + 3
