In a parallel plate capacitor, the radius of each circular plate is $12\,cm$ and the distance between the plates is $5\,mm$. A glass slab of $3\,mm$ thickness and radius $12\,cm$ with a dielectric constant of $6$ is placed between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor will be:

  • A
    $144 \times 10^{-9}\,F$
  • B
    $40\,pF$
  • C
    $160\,pF$
  • D
    $1.44\,\mu F$
