  1. C0 is the capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with air as dielectric (as in figure (a)). If, half of the entire gap as shown in figure (b) is filled with a dielectric of permittivity ∈r, the expression for the modified capacitance is

    1. C0
      (1 + ∈r)
      2

    2. (C0 + ∈r)

    3. C0
      r
      2

    4. C0(1 + ∈r)
Correct Option: A


C0 =

Now C = C1 + C2
∴ C =
