136. A capacitor with only air between the plates has a capacitance of  3.0 microfarads.   What is the capacitance if paraffin with a dielectric constant of 2.2 is placed between the plates?
      
A. 0.62 microfarads C = kCo  =  2.2 x 3.0 microfarads = 6.6 microfarads

The Correct Answer is D.

B. 1.4 microfarads
C. 4.1 microfarads
D. 6.6 microfarads
