Question

In circuit shown two identical parallel plate capacitors are connected. Initially the space between the plates of each capacitor is filled with air. If we wish to double the total amount of charge stored on both capacitors for the same applied voltage, which material should we use to fill the space between the plates? Fill C1 with glass (dielectric constant of 4) and leave C2 alone. Fill C1 with Teflon (dielectric constant of 2) and leave C2 alone. Fill both C1 and C2 with Teflon (dielectric constant of 2). Fill both C1 and C2 with glass (dielectric constant of 4).

Explanation / Answer

C)Fill both with teflon.

This will double the capacitance of both as well as the resultant.
