Figure 12-1
-A capacitor has a capacitance of 0.1 µF with air as the dielectric. If the dielectric material is changed from air to a ceramic material with a dielectric constant of 600, what is the new capacitance? Note: Neither air nor Ceramic capacitors this large are available.)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The new capacitance can be calculated using the formula $C_{new} = C_{original} \times \kappa$, where $\kappa$ is the dielectric constant. So, the new capacitance is $0.1 \mu F \times 600 = 60 \mu F$.
