NEET 2025 Physics, question 20

Question 20 of the NEET 2025 paper (code 45) is a Physics question from Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance. Its idea, Capacitance with Partial Dielectric Slab, was asked only this once in NEET 2017–2026. The NTA final answer key gives option 1.

Q20 · Physics

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by dd. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1K_1 and K2K_2 with thickness 38d\frac{3}{8}d and d2\frac{d}{2}, respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates.

If K1=1.25 K2K_1 = 1.25\,K_2, the value of K1K_1 is :
