The distance between two plates of a capacitor isdand its capacitance isC1, when air is the medium between the plates. If a metal sheet of thickness2d3and of the same area as plate is introduced between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor becomesC2. The ratioC2C1is

Question diagram: The distance between two plates of a capacitor is d and its

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The formula of capacitance is C1=ε0Ad

The dielectric constant of metal sheet is Kmetal=

The new value of capacitance is 

C2=ε0Ad-t+tKmetal=ε0Ad-2d3+0=3C1

Clearly, the ratio,

C2C1=3C1C1=3:1
