One of the materials listed below is to be placed between two identical metal sheets, with no air gap, to form a parallel-plate capacitor.Which produces the greatest capacitance?
A)material of thickness 0.1 mm and dielectric constant 2
B)material of thickness 0.2 mm and dielectric constant 3
C)material of thickness 0.3 mm and dielectric constant 2
D)material of thickness 0.4 mm and dielectric constant 8
E)material of thickness 0.5 mm and dielectric constant 11

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capacitance is inversely proportional to the thickness of the material and directly proportional to the dielectric constant. The material with the smallest thickness and the highest dielectric constant will produce the greatest capacitance.
