The correct Answer is:
To find the potential difference across a parallel plate capacitor with two dielectric slabs inserted, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have a parallel plate capacitor with two dielectric slabs: - The first slab has thickness \( t_1 \) and dielectric constant \( k_1 \). - The second slab has thickness \( t_2 \) and dielectric constant \( k_2 \). ### Step 2: Model the Capacitor The two dielectric slabs can be treated as two capacitors in series: - Capacitor 1 (with dielectric \( k_1 \) and thickness \( t_1 \)) - Capacitor 2 (with dielectric \( k_2 \) and thickness \( t_2 \)) ### Step 3: Calculate Individual Capacitances The capacitance of a capacitor filled with a dielectric is given by: \[ C = \frac{k \epsilon_0 A}{d} \] where \( k \) is the dielectric constant, \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, \( A \) is the area of the plates, and \( d \) is the distance between the plates. For the two capacitors: - For Capacitor 1: \[ C_1 = \frac{k_1 \epsilon_0 A}{t_1} \] - For Capacitor 2: \[ C_2 = \frac{k_2 \epsilon_0 A}{t_2} \] ### Step 4: Find the Equivalent Capacitance Since the two capacitors are in series, the equivalent capacitance \( C_{eq} \) is given by: \[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} \] Substituting the expressions for \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \): \[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{t_1}{k_1 \epsilon_0 A} + \frac{t_2}{k_2 \epsilon_0 A} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{\epsilon_0 A} \left( \frac{t_1}{k_1} + \frac{t_2}{k_2} \right) \] Thus, the equivalent capacitance is: \[ C_{eq} = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{\frac{t_1}{k_1} + \frac{t_2}{k_2}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Potential Difference The potential difference \( V \) across the capacitor can be expressed using the formula: \[ V = \frac{Q}{C_{eq}} \] Substituting for \( C_{eq} \): \[ V = Q \cdot \frac{\frac{t_1}{k_1} + \frac{t_2}{k_2}}{\epsilon_0 A} \] ### Final Expression Thus, the potential difference across the capacitor is: \[ V = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0 A} \left( \frac{t_1}{k_1} + \frac{t_2}{k_2} \right) \]

To find the potential difference across a parallel plate capacitor with two dielectric slabs inserted, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have a parallel plate capacitor with two dielectric slabs: - The first slab has thickness \( t_1 \) and dielectric constant \( k_1 \). - The second slab has thickness \( t_2 \) and dielectric constant \( k_2 \). ### Step 2: Model the Capacitor ...
