The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with air as medium is `3 muF.` with the introduction of a dielectric medium between the plates, the capacitance becomes `15mu F.` The permittivity of the medium is
A. `5C^(2)N^(-1)M^(-2)`
B. `15C^(2)N^(-1)m^(-2)`
C. `0.44xx10^(-10)C^(2)N^(-1)m^(2)`
D. `8.854xx10^(-11)C^(2)N^(-1)m^(-2)`

Correct Answer - C
Capacitance of parallel pate capacitor with air is `C = (epsi_(0)A)/(d)`
Capacitance of a same parallel plate capacitor with the introduction of a dielectric medium is ` C = (K epis_(0)A)/(d)`
where k is the dielectric constant of a medium
` or (C)/(C) = k or K = (15)/(3) = 5 or k = (epsi)/(epsi_(0))`
or ` epsi = Kepsi_(0) = 5 x 8.854 xx 10^(-12) = 0.4xx 10^(-10) C^(2)N^(-1) m^(2)`
