Q40 / 44 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Alternating Current

The natural frequency of an L-C circuit is 125000 cycles/s. When a dielectric medium of dielectric constant K is introduced between the plates of the capacitor, the frequency decreases by 25 kHz. The value of K is

  • A
    3.05
  • B
    2.18
  • Correct answer
    C
    1.56
  • D
    1.74

Solution

f=12πLC

When a dielectric is introduced the capacitance becomes

C⁡ ′ = K⁡ C⁡

⇒f⁡'f=C⁡C⁡'

125000-25000125000=C⁡KC

100125=1K

K=1251002=1.56

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
