Embibe Experts Solutions for Chapter: Capacitance, Exercise 1: TS EAMCET - 9 August 2021 Shift 2

A parallel plate capacitor of two plates, each with area $90\pi {\mathrm{cm}}^2$, is separated by $5 \mathrm{mm}$ air-gap. The capacitor is initially connected to $100 \mathrm{V}$ source. When an unknown liquid is filled between the plates so as to fill the air-gap, an additional charge of $95 \mathrm{nC}$ is found to be flowing onto the capacitor from the $100 \mathrm{V}$ source. The dielectric constant of the liquid is
(Assume $\frac{1}{4\pi {ϵ}_0}=9\times {10}^9 \mathrm{N} {\mathrm{m}}^2 {\mathrm{C}}^{-2}$)

What happens to the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor if the area of its plate is tripled?
