How will capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor change on inserting a metal slab partially between its plates?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine how the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor changes when a metal slab is partially inserted between its plates, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Initial Capacitance The initial capacitance \( C_0 \) of a parallel plate capacitor without any dielectric is given by the formula: \[ C_0 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{D} \] where: ...
