In a parallel plate air capacitor, the distance between plates is reduced to one-fourth and the space between them is filled with a dielectric medium of constant $2$. If the initial capacity of the capacitor is $4 \mu F$, then its new capacity is: (in $\mu F$)

  • A
    $32$
  • B
    $18$
  • C
    $8$
