Dielectrics

In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, the distance $d$ between the plates is changed and the space is filled with dielectric constant 8. The capacity of the capacitor is increased 16 times, the distance between the plates is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}$ , $C' = \frac{8\varepsilon_0 A}{d'}$
$\frac{C'}{C} = \frac{8d}{d'} = 16$
$d' = \frac{d}{2}$
So the answer is (c) d/2.
