A parallel plate capacitor C with plates of unit area and separation d is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant K=2. The level of liquid is d3 initially. Suppose the liquid level decreases at a constant speed v, the time constant as a function of time t is


Solution:
After time t, thickness of liquid will remain (d3−vt).
Now, time constant as function of time
τc=CR=ε0(1)⋅R(d−d3+vt)+d/3−vt2 Applying C=ε0Ad−t+tk)=6ε0R5d+3vt
∴ correct option is (a).
