Find the capacitance between A and B if ...

Find the capacitance between A and B if two dielectric alabs (each of area `A`) of dielectric constants `K_(1)` and `K_(2)` and thicknesses `d_(1)` and `d_(2)` are inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate area `A`.
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The combination is equivalent to two capacitors connected in series
`1/(C)=1/(C_(1))+1/(C_(2))`
`=d_(1)/(AK_(1)epsilon_(0))+d_(2)/(AK_(2)epsilon_(0))=1/(Aepsilon_(0))[(K_(2)d_(1)+K_(1)d_(2))/(K_(1)K_(2))]`
or `C=Aepsilon_(0)[(K_(1)K_(2))/(K_(2)d_(1)+K_(1)d_(2))]`
