Q.

A parallel plate capacitor with plate area A and plate separation d is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant K = 4. The thickness of the dielectric material is x. where x<d.

Let C1 and C2 be the capacitance of the system for x=13d and x=2d3 respectively. If C1=2μF, the value of C2 is ________ μF.                [2023]


Ans.

For x=d3

C1=ε0A(d/3k+2d3)=ε0Ad12+2d3=ε0Ad×129

C1=43ε0Ad=2μF

For x=2d3

C2=ε0A(2d/3k+d3)=ε0Ad×2=64×2=3μF
