The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with air as medium is \( 3 \, \mu \text{F} \)
. With the introduction of a dielectric medium between the plates, the capacitance becomes \( 15 \, \mu \text{F} \)
. The permittivity of the medium in SI units is \( \epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} \).
