Define dielectric constant.
A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed, using a dielectric of dielectric constant $5$, so as to have a dielectric strength of $10^9\;Vm^{-1}$ . If the voltage rating of the capacitor is $12\;kV$, the minimum area of each plate required to have a capacitance of $80\;pF$ is
Assertion : If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and dielectric constant is three times, then the capacitance becomes $6\,times$.
Reason : Capacity of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material.
What is dielectric ?
A capacitor of capacitance $15 \,nF$ having dielectric slab of $\varepsilon_{r}=2.5$ dielectric strength $30 \,MV / m$ and potential difference $=30\; volt$ then the area of plate is ....... $ \times 10^{-4}\; m ^{2}$
An air filled parallel plate capacitor has capacity $C$. If distance between plates is doubled and it is immersed in a liquid then capacity becomes twice. Dielectric constant of the liquid is
