Correct answer: 105
- Initial capacitance
For a parallel plate capacitor, when air is between the plates.
Given:
- Changes made to the capacitor
- Plate separation is doubled:
- Dielectric of constant is inserted.
Now the new capacitance is
Using ,
- Substitute values
- Match with the given form
Given that the new capacitance is
So,
- Final answer
